I speak about user experience design and the intersection of gender and design. I also give workshops on topics like brainstorming, sketching, and public speaking.

I began my public speaking career with one of my favorite talks, Designing for a Female Audience. This presentation earned the nickname the “shrink it and pink it” talk. (View it on Slideshare or listen to a podcast of the talk at SXSW.)
