Talks and Podcasts

I love sharing my experiences and insights as a neurodivergent designer, creative entrepreneur, and advocate for co-design. Whether I’m speaking about neurodiversity in the creative industry, scaling a business, or the power of storytelling, I’m passionate about empowering others to embrace their unique strengths and create meaningful change.

With ADHD and a brain full of ideas, I explore how neurodiversity shapes the creative process, and how I’ve built my business, nooh Studio, around the way my mind works. From co-design to healthcare campaigns, my talks delve into the realities of entrepreneurship, design, and the social impact of creative work.
