Talks

I enjoy public speaking and have been delivering talks at conferences and local meetups since 2018. I cover a variety of subjects, but with a focus on code quality and digital accessibility.
If you're interested in me coming to speak at your event get in touch.
Upcoming talks
Honey, I Blew Up the Web
Just like the supersized toddler wreaking havoc on Las Vegas in ‘Honey, I Blew Up the Kid’, zooming in on websites exposes chaos—but it's UX components untested at scale that break, not users. From a lived-experience using screen magnification and zoom settings, I'll show how fixed navs, cursor interactions and layouts fall apart at scale, and how to build experiences that work for everyone.
