Speaking, Training and Facilitating

For companies and conference/event organizers, I give talks and lead corporate training workshops (on-site or virtual). You can choose from one of my existing talks or workshops, or we can work together to design a custom talk or workshop that meets your needs. I offer 20-30 minute talks, 45-60 minute keynotes, and teach half day or full day workshops for groups of 10-60 (max 30/ virtual workshop session) .

For organizations looking to create equitable and inclusive products and service experiences your audience will love, I offer consulting services in product and service design strategy, innovation strategy, org change, UX research, and marketing. I also provide consulting services in team leadership that involves creating conditions that foster resilience, experimentation and trust.
