Presentations
Over the years, I’ve spoken on various topics including: multitouch app design, social media and web 2.0, women in technology and requirements engineering. I’m passionate about speaking because I think it is one of the most effective ways of starting conversations, sparking off ideas and learning from others.
If you’ve got an event that you would like me to speak at, feel free to drop me a line at kate at interface3 dot com.
