Hi! I'm Teighe
(sounds like "Teeg")
My Story
Organizations hire me to equip their creative teams for the future of AI. Using my "AI as a Partner, Not a Replacement™" approach, I supercharge and future-proof businesses and institutions with AI literacy training and custom AI-assisted workflows.
Before launching my consultancy, I spent over a decade producing creative campaign content for national advocacy initiatives and high-profile brands, while also developing cybersecurity awareness training for government teams. This uncommon foundation gives me a rare blend of creative direction and technical fluency, keeping me at the leading edge of the opportunities, risks, and ethical complexities of emerging technology in creative fields.
Today, whether building ethics-focused, AI-enhanced systems or speaking on the future of human-AI collaboration, I help creative teams turn AI anxiety into values-based competitive advantage.
Because in a world full of AI-generated sameness, showing up as human is the smartest strategy.
