+ WebBuilder 2.0, 2008 (User Experience Documentation 2.0)
+ Web 2.0 Expo, 2008 (Rich UX Documentation)

+ Internet User Experience Conference - Ann Arbor, 2007, 2009 (Effective Translation of Brand Image on the Web, Retail Holiday Web Experience Design)
+ World Usability Day, 2005 (Panel Discussion on Practiced Usability)

I also maintain a freelance business, primarily designing websites for smaller companies and non-profits.
