Talks, Community + Events

Service Single Image

Are you looking to for a speaker or trainer for your event, or a collaborator for your podcast or content?

Since 2011 I've spoken at a wide mix of conferences, industry events, and community meet-ups. I've also guested, produced, and co-hosted several podcasts including dMBA and Designers in Business.

Speaking and Community Events

A regular speaker, I've shared my experience at conferences and community events alike. I'm co-organiser of the UK's largest grassroots UX event, and mentor and advise designers of all levels.

Designers in Business

In 2020 I launched Designers in Business (now Designers With Impact), a project aimed at helping designers gain more confidence in their understanding of business. I'm also a graduate of the d.MBA and an active member of it's alumni.

Content, Podcasts and Writing

I've featured in leading design publications and been a guest on design podcasts. I'm also co-host of Business Design Teardown podcast, exploring the strategy behind the brands designers love.

My speaking and collaboration style

My style is informal, friendly and inclusive. I believe that stories and experiences help messages resonate, and practical examples help build personal confidence in an audience.

Like the sound of my style and approach? I'm currently considering speaking and content engagements with a focus on:

  • The business value of design
  • Strategy for designers
  • How designers can collaborate more effectively
