“Fiona has the unique ability to balance practical tips on ChatGPT and Mid Journey with a wealth of knowledge on AI. I had the chance to witness her powerful presence when she gave a workshop held for 70 people with the aim of encouraging female leadership, where she successfully translated the theory of Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning into a captivating message with a wonderful sense of humour met with enthusiasm from the participants.

“Thank you Fiona for a really thought provoking session. Left me with a lot of thoughts around the role of AI in speeding up what we do, and how we can use it to improve the visual nature of our messages. It’s always been the costliest part of comms to create visually engaging stories but as you say Fiona, so much opportunity if we do.”

“Fiona coordinated internal communication and engagement efforts at Philips Design with strong hands-on knowledge and a positive attitude. In particular, we worked together on creating a storytelling course aimed at designers and innovators for pitching their projects. She brought insightful and targeted content on story ingredients and structure, but she also impressed me with her use of narratives and visuals to make the course engaging, and her mesmerising presentation skills.”
