—— Talks & workshops
Keynote
Human in the Loop
AI as a cognitive prosthetic rather than a replacement for craft. What it means to stay accountable for work a machine helped you make.
Keynote
Wrestling with the Machine
Tool use, labor dignity, and post-industrial identity. Drawn from the manuscript and from twenty-five years of picking up whatever tool the job needed.
Workshop
AI in the Creative Workflow
Hands-on character development, story, and brand work with augmented AI. Prompt engineering, agentic studio tooling, and where to keep a person in the chain.
Workshop
Faculty AI Integration
For departments and programs. Course-level policy, assignment redesign, and assessment that survives the tools students already use.
Workshop
Workplace Communication
Clarity, audience, and organizational leadership. Built for teams that have to write and speak to people who did not attend the meeting.
Session
Stories of Place
American regionalism and location-based production. Why the folk-artist should champion where the work is made and who gets paid to make it.
