An Interaction Designer by trade, and a speaker about future technology and critical design by passion, Vanessa understands both how people interact with technology as well as what it takes to create the technology for the near future.

Apart from working to understand and develop tech, Vanessa speaks at many events about challenging our use and beliefs about technology, and demonstrating the potential of using technology in unusual ways.

She also creates professional networking events and participatory events where attendees don't just sit and listen, but get their hands dirty and learn in the field.
