Lindsey Galloway is an award-winning screenwriter and veteran journalist who speaks, teaches, and writes about the kind of thinking machines can't do.





















She's spent twenty years making stories, screenplays, companies, often simultaneously. She's reported for the BBC, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, written guidebooks for Fodor's, contributed to Atlas Obscura books, founded brands, and run editorial teams. Her screenplays have won top honors at Park City and earned fellowship recognition at Sundance and the Austin Film Festival. She built this range on purpose, the way some people build a single career.
Today she speaks and leads workshops on creative thinking in the age of AI. As machines have made competent work cheap, the value has moved to the strange, the singular, and the human. She trains teams and individual makers to use collision tactics to sharpen and stretch their thinking, using methods drawn from two decades in newsrooms, writers' rooms, and startups.
She holds a dual degree from Scripps College, has spent ten years honing experimental forms at Denver's Lighthouse Writers Workshop, and will read your tarot if you come with questions.
If your team's needs a creative reset, or your own best work is sitting half-finished, say hello.
