I’ve spent my entire career figuring out the most effective ways to use AI and other emerging technologies, and I love sharing what I’ve learned. My talks emphasize the importance of critical thinking in adopting new tech.

I’ve spoken at numerous industry conferences and podcasts, including ConveyUX, Advancing Research, The Design of AI podcast, and Austin Startup Week. I’ve sold out multiple events, with positive feedback from attendees and hosts alike. I’ve also been invited to speak internally at organizations like Microsoft, Fidelity, Pratt Institute, and The Library of Congress.

In 2025, I served as the curator of Designing with AI for Rosenfeld Media, creating the conference program and preparing speakers, so I deeply understand the many moving parts that go into planning a major event.

As a former board member of Austin UXPA and Seattle IxDA, I also have a soft spot for local organizations and love presenting at smaller meetups as well.

I have existing presentations available on various subjects relating to AI, product strategy, user research, and spatial computing, but I’m also happy to prepare custom talks.
