Speaking.

I've had the privilege to speak at many events throughout my career so far. I love giving back to the design community and being able to connect with attendees to share knowledge and experiences.

If you're interested in having me speak for your team, class, conference or event, please reach out to me at team@femke.design. For up to date information about speaking events, sign up to my newsletter and you'll be one of the first to hear about future events.
