Consulting 💡

Let's catalyze our industries to prioritize accessibility, inclusion, & bias minimization in product strategy.

I have spoken at events hosted by: 

I am an international speaker who focuses on inclusive & ethical experience design, accessibility, team resilience and leadership.

My talks & workshops cover topics like:

- Design & Innovation Leadership
- How to challenge our assumptions and biases
- How to build more inclusive, equitable and ethical products and experiences
- Team Resilience and nurturing team conditions for  growth, equity, and experimentation
- How my lived experience as an immigrant, and woman of color with a disability informs the work I do, how I lead teams and how I show up

Speaking is a huge honor and privilege, so I look for conferences that have thoughtful code of conducts and provide support to marginalized communities. Scroll down to see events I've spoken at, how the audience responded & a few videos of my speaking.
