Press and media
Press, media and speaking.
I like complicated questions, interesting conversations, and the occasional opportunity to explain psychology through a toy, a movie, a dance move, or a really good pop culture reference.
I am available for interviews, podcasts, panels, keynotes, workshops, commentary, and collaborations across psychology, play, creativity, culture, well-being, inclusion, and the future of work.

“I have many jobs because I think all of them together really encapsulate my talents and my hopes and my dreams. And cutting one out felt like a compromise.”
