I’m active in the community presenting talks around design, accessibility, empathy, and building better interfaces. Over the last several years I have presented at nine major conferences as well as screencasts and podcasts. Because I believe in the community and in teaching others to help grow the community and the things we do, I have primarily funded these ventures from my own pocket. This isn’t something that is maintainable in the long run. Please contact me if you’d like me to give a presentation or be on your show.
