I love to talk about UX!
I really enjoy speaking and presenting about the field of User Experience, with a particular focus on UX strategy and UX research. I’ve been a featured speaker at international conferences such as UX Masterclass Conference and UX STRAT, as well as a co-organizer, curator, and panel moderator at events such as the World Information Architecture Day in Canada and San Francisco.
I have been a keynote speaker and presenter at various events, including the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Design Jam and Vancouver UX Awards. I have been a featured panelist on Design Vancouver and a guest speaker on the UX-Radio podcast. With a global perspective on UX, I have spoken at events in countries such as India, Singapore, Poland, New Zealand, Canada, USA, and Australia, covering topics such as UX strategy case studies, diary studies, mobile research techniques, and the Facebook Desirability Toolkit, which I developed for Meta.
