I am passionate about design and making, and I love talking to other makers. Here are some events I've spoken at. If you'd like me to speak at your event, get in touch!
I was thrilled to speak several times at Maker Faire NY 2018. The highlight for me was this conversation about design with Laura Kampf. The talk was recorded, view it here!
At Maker Faire Bay Area 2018, I spoke with my husband, Kim Pimmel, about our SelfieBot project. Best of all, we made new friends and took lots of SelfieBot selfies!
I organized this FashionTech Showcase with Chelsea Klukas of MakeFashion for Seattle Mini Maker Faire 2017. We hosted designers and makers showing their wearable FashionTech projects.
In October 2017, I visited The Garage, Microsoft's makerspace in Redmond, to do a presentation on getting started with wearable electronics.
One of the highlights of 2017 for me was hosting the Geek Girl Con Fashion Show. I loved meeting the designers, models, and stylists, and talking about the value of representation and inclusion in fashion and pop culture.

I teamed up with Tony DiCola of Adafruit to talk about getting started with Ardruino in a talk we called "Steal This Code: Arduino for the Rest of Us"
