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
