Speaking
I love public speaking, so if you’d like me to speak at your meetup or conference please send me an email at sophie@localghost.dev!
Some of the things I like to talk about include:
- The independent web and creativity
- Building accessible and inclusive web applications
- How to write great documentation, clear product copy, and teach technical concepts
- Fun web things I've built
