I create: cross discipline dialogue. I translate: science. I broker: insight. I understand: humans. I believe: the future is not something that should happen to us, we must create it. I also hack brains to change reality. Creative Scientist | Specialist in Neuroscience, Behavioural & Experimental Psychology and it's creative application. An interdisciplinary scientist with an extensive academic background in genetics, psychology and neuroscience through affiliations with major research groups worldwide, I uncover science insight and translate it into applicable creative intelligence, accelerating it out of labs and into the real world. Connecting a network of world class academics, creatives and disrupters. Collaborations, living labs, original research, campaigns and immersive experiences to help us better understand ourselves and our world, drive connection and inspire change.
