One Web Standards (design/compliant interface), one Echo (marketing), two AAN (advertising/promotion) and two Plastic Pilot (design).
Speaking engagements and teaching
Webvisions (2006–2008, 2010), DevGroup NW, Internet Professionals Northwest at OHSU, Art Institute of Portland, Shop/08 and Portland State University.
