Talks
I offer talks for educational, community, cultural, and professional settings.
These talks are grounded in over 22 years of professional artistic practice, real-world experience in creative entrepreneurship, and a neurodivergent perspective, particularly within the autism spectrum.
Through these conferences, I share an approach that is both grounded in reality and open to broader reflections on creation, identity, and meaning.
Formats can be adapted based on the audience’s age, context, learning objectives, and available time.
Art and AI: Creating Without Losing Yourself
An honest, up-to-date reflection on the role of generative AI in creative work.
Drawing from my direct experience, this talk explores questions of ethics, originality, and artistic identity, while examining how to integrate these tools without diluting your voice. Rooted in practice, it opens a dialogue on the place of artists and designers in the age of AI.
We’ll explore:
- fear vs. potential
- inspiration, appropriation, and transformation
- authorship, originality, and responsibility
- how to remain a creator in a world of powerful tools
Tattooing, Symbolism, and Personal Transformation
Tattooing as visual language, identity anchor, and modern ritual.
An exploration of the role of archetypes, symbolism, and storytelling in the images we choose to carry, and their impact on a person’s journey.
Archetypes shape our values, our narratives, and our perception of the world—they’ve lived in our subconscious since the beginning of humanity. Telling stories, creating meaning through images: this is at the core of what makes us human.
We’ll explore:
- why certain images “call” to us
- how an image becomes a marker of transformation
- tattooing as a conscious, narrative, and deeply personal act
Being Neurodivergent in a Neurotypical World
A lived perspective on navigating social and professional spaces while being on the autism spectrum.
With a particular focus on autism through my own journey, this talk addresses invisible challenges, coping strategies, and the need to redefine success on your own terms.
We’ll explore:
- overload, fatigue, and masking
- entrepreneurship and non-linear paths
- boundaries, autonomy, and self-respect
Flow State: Accessing Your Inner wisdom
An accessible approach to connecting with intuition, creativity, and your own internal guidance system.
This talk includes a simple automatic writing exercise that can be used daily as a tool for clarity, decision-making, and personal exploration.
We’ll explore:
- flow state, attention, and presence
- automatic writing as a gateway to the subconscious
- how to use this tool in everyday life (not just artistically)
🎙️I am also available for media interviews, panels, and public discussions related to these topics.
