Doddz's biography

At a glance

  • Multi-award-winning digital artist
  • Founder of DIME, a creative studio working with global giants such as Disney
  • Ambassador for Meta and Snapchat
Doddz began as street artist Professor Pigment, creating murals that earned enough to pay off his parents' mortgage while he studied at university. He later joined Steven Bartlett's brand team before founding DIME, a creative studio building story-led experiences through emerging technologies for clients including Disney, Nike, and Sony. As an ambassador for Meta and Snapchat, Doddz translates complex technologies into narratives that connect with global audiences. His work spans physical exhibitions in London, Manchester, and Shanghai, as well as virtual showcases across India and the United States. Most recently, he served as the leading digital voice in the UK for the Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee. He also developed The Pollution Piano, a virtual installation that uses AI to generate original compositions based on the air around you. A member of Mensa, Doddz has achieved all of this while navigating the challenges of dyslexia, beginning his school life in special education classes. Rather than viewing this as a barrier, he's used it as a source of resilience, ingenuity, and divergent thinking. His journey stands as a testament to the idea that obstacles can fuel greatness, and that creativity thrives in unexpected places. Through his talks, Doddz helps organisations understand how creativity, technology, and narrative combine to capture attention in crowded markets. His 15 years building experiences for global brands informs his practical insights for transforming abstract ideas into tangible results that audiences remember and share. Book Doddz to inspire your team to look beyond traditional frameworks and consider new and innovative ways to engage your audiences.

Testimonials

Having Doddz on the Digital Frontier podcast was a masterclass in creative thinking. His insights into where technology and artistry intersect were not only forward-thinking but also immediately actionable. Few people can explain emerging tech with such clarity while also grounding it in human emotion and storytelling.

Digital Frontier

Doddz was a standout voice at the Leeds International Festival of Ideas 2024. His perspective on neurodiversity as a creative strength brought a completely fresh dimension to the discussion. On a panel with Christine McGuinness, he spoke openly about how being neurodivergent has shaped his ability to solve problems differently, see opportunities others miss, and approach creativity with a truly original lens. His insights were inspiring, practical, and deeply resonant with our live audience.

Leeds International Festival Of Ideas

Doddz delivered a thought-provoking talk that gave our global marketing audience a fresh perspective on creativity. By drawing on his background as an artist, he showed how unconventional thinking can unlock ideas the industry often overlooks. His approach encouraged marketers to look beyond traditional frameworks and consider new, more imaginative ways to engage audiences.

Most bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker and are set out clearly in the contract before you confirm, so there are no surprises. PepTalk's team supports you through any change. Contact hello@getapeptalk.com as soon as plans shift.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?
