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.
Rates & availability.
To cut to the chase, unless your event is an unpaid and not-for-profit event, I'm not available to speak for free. Reach out at team@femke.design to book.
I'd be more than happy to remotely deliver a live presentation to your team as well as Q&A – up to one hour. These sessions start at $750.
Speaking resources.
Femke has a talk titled The Influential Product Designer – a crash course in the skills needed to have strategic influence and build strong partnerships within your cross-functional teams.
