Speaking

I speak at conferences and industry events for groups as varied as the AIGA, Johnson & Johnson, and the City of Seattle. Talks have ranged from very small (20 people) to quite large (6,000 attendees). If you’d like to have me speak at an event, just call smashLAB at 604 683 2250, or send an email to: hello@smashlab.com and we can discuss scheduling and speaking fees.
