Catherine Wynne is a speaker and neurodiversity advocate exploring how we can create workplaces and learning environments where different brains can genuinely thrive.

Drawing on both lived experience of neurodivergence and her professional experience working across higher education and technology, Catherine speaks candidly about the realities of navigating systems, cultures and expectations that are often built around a narrow idea of how people should think, communicate, focus and work.

In her role at Adobe, Catherine works with universities across the UK and Europe, developing programmes that support creativity, digital confidence, student engagement and emerging skills. This gives her a unique perspective on neurodiversity across both education and the workplace, particularly as technology and AI continue to reshape how we learn and work.

Her talks focus on moving beyond awareness and towards practical inclusion: creating psychologically safer environments, challenging one-size-fits-all approaches, recognising the strengths of different thinking styles, and making small changes that can have a meaningful impact on neurodivergent people.

Catherine also explores the intersections between neurodiversity, creativity, AI, future skills and career development — always with a focus on making complex conversations practical, human and accessible.
