Newsletter

I send a little personal newsletter every few weeks: what’s new, what I’m working on, what’s got me excited. Guaranteed no thought leadership.

Please email me at cennydd@cennydd.com to be added to the list, while I’m migrating the newsletter to a new platform.

Consulting

I consult on design & technology ethics and offer keynote talks and training for in-house teams and global conferences. I’m also available for writing commissions and tech editing book manuscripts. Please note I’m next available in summer 2024.
