Speaking & Media
Founder of Hey Ladybird | Digital Innovation Leader | International Speaker
Helping parents remember less and live more.
Not your typical family app founder. Thérèse speaks about the things most organisations are only just starting to talk about; the mental load, AI that actually helps humans, and why behaviour change is harder than anyone admits. Warm, honest, occasionally very funny.

Why Thérèse speaks
Thérèse doesn't just talk about innovation because she's read about it. She's lived it.
- Led digital fundraising innovation
- Spoken internationally
- Built Hey Ladybird from her own experience as a mum
- Seen first-hand what the mental load does to families
Thérèse isn't speaking at parents or organisations. She's sharing what she's learned from building solutions.
Topics Thérèse speaks about
🐞
The Mental Load Isn't a Time Management Problem
Most advice tells parents to get better organised. Thérèse explains why that misses the point entirely and what organisations, employers and product designers can do differently. Audiences leave with a genuinely new way of thinking about invisible labour and why it matters at work, at home and in policy.
🤖
AI That Actually Helps Humans
The gap between what AI can do and what real people will actually use is enormous. Thérèse explores why adoption fails, what good AI design looks like from a human behaviour perspective, and what she's learned building Hey Ladybird for people who describe themselves as 'not good with tech.' Practical, honest and jargon-free.
🤝
AI for Normal People
You don't need to understand how the model works. You need someone to say: here's your problem, here's how this helps, here's what it can't do, here's how you use it on Tuesday morning. Thérèse has spent her career standing in that middle, between technology and the humans it's supposed to serve.
💡
Innovation with Purpose
What happens when you build products around real human needs rather than what's technically impressive? Lessons from charity, digital fundraising and building a startup as a working mum, including what fails, what sticks and why the best innovations are usually the simplest ones.
❤️
Behaviour Change
Why do people know what they should do and still not do it? Thérèse draws on behavioural science, her charity background and her experience building Hey Ladybird to explore how to design products, services and communications that work with human behaviour rather than against it.
