About

As an interdisciplinary creative technologist and 'MidJourney Maestro', I bring a unique blend of skills and experience to the table, including image generation & training, screenwriting, film direction, concept art, and rapid creative content generation, for both commercial and personal projects. I am a MidJourney Trainer at Ionda Gmbh, an innovation agency. I teach students to achieve 'Photo-feelism,' a term I coined to describe a “je ne sais quoi” quality in generative AI imagery. As an Ai consultant, I advise on workflow optimisation, business transformation and leveraging Generative Ai tools to supercharge business endeavours. I recently won Fashion AI MaisonDAO & xAiDrip! 'Earth' fashion competition, showcasing my ability to leverage MidJourney in the realm of fashion design. My design line of maximalist fashion, Bubblefunk debuted in Falcon Magazine. I am also a member of the artist developer program for Leia3D. I was the very first keynote speaker at London's first GenAI Con on June 14, where I delivered "Unleashing Creativity: Lateral Thinking and Generative AI in Design." I emphasise the importance of human intelligence, linguistics, heuristics, cultural and creative sensitivity in using generative AI. I empower individuals to recognize and embrace their unique qualities, which ultimately leads to more impact and efficient creative outcomes. Since successful utility of Ai for image generation is as much art as science, there are as many who say that the prompt is everything as those who say it isn't. Key to my experience has been the realization that what you start with and cultivate in terms of knowledge, cultural and artistic sensitivity most determines your capacity to achieve intended visual goals, along with maintaining momentum, as well as harnessing a variety of tools. While I specialize in MidJourney, my interest lays at the intersection of MidJourney in tandem with other Ai generative visualization tools, in how they can be leveraged to build out broader contexts of creative inquiry. As a MidJourney trainer, I advocate for my students to 'lean in' to those challenge areas where their foremost ambitions lay, since those are the areas that often lead to the deepest learning. It is my hope training inspires people to take this advice and challenge themselves to apply it to everything they do in terms of generative art and beyond. Portfolio
