Julie Samuels FRSA and I work to promote the importance of creativity. We work on projects that bring people together and provide opportunites to explore creativity along with the impact of technology on society. The combination of the topics - creativity and Technology are natual partners and are at the apex of our lived experience and quality of life. I founded the ASN in 2019 with a fellow RSA member in Los Angeles, he moved on to start his own non-profit, and in 2020 Julie Samuels joined me to grow the ASN.
