Lucy Hobbs

Lucy is an AuDHD Creative Director and Founder of The Future is ND. The Future is ND was founded in 2018 to champion and empower neurodiversity in the Creative and Tech industries, where Lucy has worked as a creative for three decades for a variety of well-known agencies and brands. Lucy discovered her ADHD in 2007, but wouldn’t disclose at work for fear of stigma in an unforgiving industry. But in March 2018 had a change of heart after speaking openly at an industry conference about her ADHD and how it affects her working life. She then recognised the need to create a safe space for NDs to raise their voices, own their narratives, empower one another to turn up as themselves and thrive. And to collectively overcome stigma and fear of discrimination. Lucy advocates through events, consultancy work, and creative projects - to educate organisations and society to embrace a more neurodiverse workforce and world.
