Book me to speak at your event or conference
As a professional speaker for more than 10 years, I am confident and always delivers engaging and inspiring talks.
Below are examples of the types of talks I give.

RESPONSIBLE & ETHICAL DESIGN
Ethics and taking responsibility in design is more relevant than ever. And it’s easy to agree that people would generally benefit from less evil digital products. However, it’s often easier to agree to than do.
The talk will introduce a take on how to make products and services more responsible, one step at a time. It includes ways to identify opportunities for improvement, how to get business buy-in and how to set up for success.
DESIGN FOR CHILDREN
The children of today are growing up in a different paradigm than their parents, who might even remember what the world was like before the Internet! This impacts the way they perceive and interact with the world around them, especially with digital products. This talk explains how kids develop and learn, and how to design digital products that help them grow rather than dumb them down.
Better user experiences
The importance of digital projects is rising, e-commerce is growing, and the battle for the online market is intensifying. With it, follows an increased motivation to cheat and the methods to do so get more sophisticated by the minute.
In the end, you get better results if you design good, fun, exciting, lovely, interesting and real user experiences. This talk introduces the how’s and what’s of better UX.
