AI, Conversation Design & Creative Strategy

I’m focused on how AI expands creative capability — not by replacing the work, but by accelerating insights, strengthening ideas and freeing time for higher-value thinking. This space is where I share experiments and essays about using AI as a strategic creative partner for supporting conversation design, sharpening language and pushing boundaries without compromising ethics or the human element.

Using AI to Turn Trend Overload into an Editorial Roadmap

Every fall, my desktop turns into a trend-report graveyard — PDFs from Whole Foods, Conagra, and every forecasting firm fighting for my attention. This year, I handed the chaos to AI. In minutes, ChatGPT helped me turn hundreds of pages of data into five clear editorial pillars for 2026. The result? Less overwhelm, more insight — and a living roadmap for smarter, story-driven content planning.
