The person behind the work.

Human creativity and practical decisions.

For two decades, I’ve helped organizations explain what they do and why people should care. My writing and teaching explore how people can use AI while continuing to value human creativity.

The book.

Human Is the New Vinyl asks what we lose when we stop caring who made something. It is for people deciding when to use AI and what they want to keep doing for themselves. You can read it in print or as an ebook, or listen to the audiobook read by me.

Explore the book. The free companion resources include a playlist, an Experience Guide and a writing self-assessment.

VerifiedHuman.

I founded VerifiedHuman in April 2023. It provides standards and a mark for qualifying human-made and human-led work. The field standards and definitions explain what qualifies; the mark does not independently prove authorship.

Sharp Pencil.

Through Sharp Pencil, I help businesses make marketing decisions and carry them into practice. That can include continuing leadership, advice, writing, design and website work. The client stories explain my role and the people I work with.

Teaching and conversation.

My DigitalMediaCon starter kit gives publishers a worked example of using AI to listen to readers and check a summary against original comments. Speaking and workshop enquiries can start with the question your audience needs to work through.
