Joining an amazing line up of speakers, I proposed a framework for design teams and leaders to embrace data, partner with machine learning and create a framework for measuring design quality at scale.  

I had the honor of joining Remote Design Week as a panelist to discuss "Fostering Remote Collaboration" with other design leaders like Ethan Eismann (Slack), Jenny Wen (Figma) and Ola Olusoga (Automaticc). 

In 2019, I spoke at Seattle Interactive Conference on the topic of service design and building design teams within legacy organizations.  

Are we paying attention to designing the future we will need? During my talk at Big Design 2019, I explored the role that products, people data and personas play in capturing our attention.  

As a design leader, creating strong ties to the design community is crucial, which is why I led my team in sponsoring and hosting the 2019 Austin Design Week "Design-A-Thon" in our Austin tech office.  

I established a 4-week training series on whiteboard challenges and opened it to the entire organization. Each week I would teach a different design thinking method, and participants would pair up and select random challenges to solve in 20 minutes.  

In 2018, I was asked to speak at the RetailLoco Marketing Conference in Atlanta. My topic touched on chatbot data and the importance of diversity in data used to train bots, especially when it relates to marketing.
