Creativity today feels harder than ever—not because we lack ideas, but because we’re drowning in them. In a world of constant input, how do you trust your own originality?
In this thought-provoking keynote, Jenée Naquin challenges the myth that more inspiration leads to more creativity. Instead, she reveals how overconsumption fuels doubt and why the key to standing out isn’t doing more—it’s owning what makes you distinct. Through real stories and fresh insights, she’ll introduce the concept of Stylish Disruption—a bold approach to using today’s digital tools (social media and AI) as creative amplifiers rather than distractions. Attendees will leave inspired, empowered, and ready to embrace their je ne sais quoi—the intangible essence that makes their work unforgettable. ABOUT JENEE Jenée Naquin has brought many brands to life, transforming them from conceptual beginnings to fully realized identities with depth and distinction. After thirteen years in fashion design, she applies her creativity, trend intuition, and branding prowess to digital marketing, helping founders craft personal brands that captivate and convert. While leading product development for a fashion tech brand, Fast Company named it one of “The Most Innovative Companies of 2017.” Since then, she played a key role in growing a marketing consultancy that was acquired by a public company in 2020. Jenée’s ability to uncover and refine a founder’s je ne sais quoi—that certain something that makes their personal brand unforgettable—has made her a trusted creative partner for discerning entrepreneurs. With a strategic eye for aesthetics and a deep understanding of digital positioning, she ensures her clients’ first impressions are as powerful as their expertise. |
