Lucy Hobbs

Lucy Hobbs has worked as a creative art director and writer for over 20 years at some of London’s best-known advertising and digital agencies.

In 2007 she was identified as having ADHD, which helped her make sense of both her challenges and her natural creative ability.
Originally she decided to not disclose because of expected stigma, but, in March 2018, had a change of heart after speaking openly at an industry conference.
Following this, she saw the need to create a safe space for NDs to share their experiences and challenges and to empower each other to turn up as themselves – so The Future is ND network was born.

Lucy’s aim is to challenge misconceptions, spread positive awareness and help organisations understand and embrace this talented but often misunderstood group. She does this through a programme of evening events and advocacy work within organisations.
