As a presenter, I have a passion for sharing original ideas that both that inspire attendees and leave them with practical tools that can be used in the workplace. Perhaps this comes from my early years as a teacher? (Or maybe this passion is why I became a teacher to begin with!)

For over a decade, I’ve worked in all areas of User Experience Design — Information Architecture, Interaction Design, Product Strategy and so on. Half of the presentations I’ve given focus on trends in interface and information design. The other half focus on related topics like social design, corporate change, innovation & management theory. And yes, I love connecting business topics with the unexpected – Star Wars, Rock Bands & Guitar Heroes, you name it! A few people have commented that I have a knack for deriving practical application from very academic topics. You can check out the presentations and decide for yourself.

I'm available for training, talks and workshops— at conferences and for organizations.
