Experience and professional background

My professional background spans adult education, music technology, digital skills and creative facilitation. to my work with AI. I have taught learners with a wide range of experience, confidence and additional learning needs, and my approach is grounded in making complex systems understandable without removing the learner’s own judgement or agency.

The Thirdfield

Thirdfield is a practical and creative framework for working with AI as a structured thinking partner, without treating it as either a magic oracle or a neutral tool. It helps individuals and organisations turn messy information into clear next steps, develop useful workflows, improve planning and communication, and build confidence using AI safely and thoughtfully.

At its heart, Thirdfield keeps human judgement, context, ethics, creativity, and accountability central, so AI becomes a support for clearer thinking and meaningful action rather than a replacement for human discernment.

How I work

• clarity without flattening complexity;
• human sovereignty and accountability;
• practical experimentation rather than hype;
• creativity held alongside evidence and discernment;
• methods adapted to the person and their actual work.

Current work

• practical 1:1 AI workflow coaching;
• humane AI and governance workshops;
• adult digital-skills teaching;
• expressive-arts facilitation;
• writing, research and Thirdfield framework development.
