YOUR IDEAS, EXAMINED is your direct line for inquiry: A Q&A series where your questions are explored as case studies, stress-tested through cultural and strategic lenses to reveal sharper ways of seeing.
As a cultural strategist, and Founder of Ideas Economy, I’ll examine with you the complexities of business, creativity, and culture at large, and how all three manifest together in weird and wonderful ways. Your Ideas, Examined is our open dialogue, where you can pose to me your curiosities about the economy of ideas, and how those ideas might elevate quality of life.
Submit your question and see that it might be chosen for an upcoming edition. Each response is an opportunity to witness your questions sharpened, reframed, and tested through a lens built on experiences across creative, commercial, and philanthropic spheres — the same lens that guides strategy for brands and organisations that aim to move with clarity and coherence in a complex world.
