As part of my purpose in the world, it is my honour and pleasure to share my insights and wisdom on experience and transformation on the global stage. I am frequently invited to deliver keynotes and talks at international academic conferences, industry summits and government events.
I connect the dots of my interdisciplinary research and my own transformative experiences into powerful messages on how we can use intentional design to create human experiences that elevate human consciousness in our personal lives, professional contexts, and Planet Earth.
All of my talks are designed with purpose, infused with enthusiasm, and personalised for every event. Previous audiences have described my talks as “inspirational, foresighted, experiential. Deep academic expertise coupled with insights and embedded into great storytelling.”
”For me, an inspirational talk is like gardening. It starts with the planting of a seed that grows into a seedling of an idea, and one day flourishes into a flower of beautiful action and impact, precisely where and when it is needed in the world.

Sample Topics
My talks focus on sparking transformation. I combine the fields of psychology, design, and digital technology for human and digital transformation. I have more than twelve years background in the research of experiences and I coined and shaped the literature around Technology Enhanced Tourist Experiences.
Are you asking yourself these questions: What is next in experience design? What is next in human transformation? What is next in digital? How can we use design thinking to create transformative experiences? How can we use digital technology (AR, VR, AI) to enhance experiences and create transformative glimpses through technology-facilitated experiences?
