Episode 26: Rethink Thinking with A1
Episode 26: Rethink Thinking with AI
with guest Nici Foote, founder of Unbarrier Me
In this episode of Rethink the Podcast, I’m joined by Nici Foote, founder of Unbarrier Me, an educator and creative problem-solver who helps schools, multi-academy trusts, and teachers build inclusive, future-ready learning environments using tools that are practical, neurodivergent-friendly, and genuinely engaging.
We explore how both of us are weaving AI into our creative processes, not to replace thinking, but to enhance it. From uploading style references and prompts into ChatGPT, to using AI-generated images as a springboard for design and tracing in Procreate, this episode unpacks how AI can unlock new directions and take the pressure off the blank page.
Together we chat about:
- How Nici blends AI with visual storytelling to support schools and educators
- Our shared workflow of idea generation → AI input → Procreate illustration
- Why working with AI is more spark than shortcut
- The value of visual clarity for neurodivergent learners and thinkers
- How educators and creatives alike can start experimenting with AI tools in thoughtful, human-centred ways
Whether you’re curious about creativity, AI, or inclusive education, this episode invites you to rethink how technology might open up new ways to think, work, and create.
