My creative services include consulting on:

Corporate Work

My specialty is advising on representation, discrimination, and responsible business conduct. I can help your business:

  • Minimize discrimination & bias in hiring

  • Make responsible investments

  • Communicate in less discriminatory ways

  • Develop more sustainable supply-chain-management

I have done consultancy work for NGO’s, corporations, and organizations in a range of sectors since 2012. Recently I have been increasingly focused on consultancy targeting Algorithmic Justice, by handling bias and inequality in Tech, particularly Machine Learning, AI, and Deep Data.

 

Examples of Services

 

Representational review

 

Do you have a finished product, and you are unsure about the ways it represents groups or individuals across axes of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, age, and more?

Whether you are a curator or artist, or you are working with corporate reports and communication, I can examine your products (algorithmic/ML products, reports, programmes, audiovisual pieces, research, advertisements) for discriminatory or misrepresentational imagery, data, effects, and language.

 

Workshops

 

My workshops range from 1-hour to multiple days, depending on your needs, and cover a range of topics including:

  • tech and AI ethics

  • representation & critical analysis

  • implicit bias in the workplace

  • workplace discrimination

  • decolonization (in academia and/or activism)

  • intersectionality and race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, age

 

Consulting on bias in hiring

 

Are you concerned that you may not be attracting or retaining the best talent due to biases and structural discrimination?

I advise organizations, businesses, and production teams on how to minimize the biases and presumptions that continually affect hiring and team-dynamics.

 

Communication consulting

 

Are you concerned that your communication may be reproducing various forms of inequality or may be discriminating particular audiences?

I offer consultancy across a variety of communication-forms, both written and audiovisual. I can help you understand how to communicate in less harmful and more effective ways, whether you are communicating about social difference or any other topic.

 

On-Set Advising

 

Representation, discrimination, and inequality affect every aspect of production, from writing, producing, directing, and casting, to styling, lighting, editing, sound-work, and more.

I consult with creatives throughout the production-process for film- and television products, providing on-set advice and hands-on solutions to issues around the ways you represent groups and individual characters.

 

Script Consulting

 

Does your script implicitly rely on tropes, stereotypes, and discriminatory premises? Does your script reproduce oppressive hierarchies across race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, age, and other categories?

I can consult with you throughout the script-writing process or provide feedback on completed scripts and treatments for films, television, and books.

 

Reports & Research

 

In select cases I will contribute to reports and research on topics of representation, racialization, gender, inequality, and more.
