Speaking
I speak and teach about technology and AI — specifically the human-centered design and implementation of it. The technology is changing us. Understanding it is not optional.
Audiences have ranged from advertising and public relations associations to university faculties, chambers of commerce, and tourism summits, in Puerto Rico and abroad. The formats: keynotes, panels, podcasts, and curriculum consulting. I’m also on the 2026 organizing committee for Design Dinners.
