I’m speaking at UXLibs this week in Liverpool.
And it’s my first ever keynote. I’m both excited and humbled.

As a kid and teenager, I often felt like I didn’t belong in many spaces. But books and my local library were my happy place. That topic is very close to my heart.

My talk is called “Libraries for everyone: overcoming hidden barriers”.
I’ll explore how we can design more inclusive, welcoming library experiences.
