26NTC Field Notes: Day 2
A case study on implementing an AI chatbot at an organization that serves vulnerable organizations, volunteer recruitment tips, and racist data! Let’s get to it!
26NTC Field Notes: Day 1
Learning to test accessibility. Decolonizing philanthropy. Applying the tenets of reproductive justice to technology decisions. The Nonprofit Technology Conference has that and more. Read up on what I’m learning as I go!
Maintaining Site Consistency
A key aspect of any high-quality website is consistently designed and structured information across every page of a site. Here’s a framework for thinking about how to get that.
24NTC Field Notes: Day 3
A really great NTC wrapped up with more good sessions about calm tech, language justice, and user testing. Then I spent a super fun weekend in Portland with my family.
24NTC Field Notes: Day 2
Phew! Another long, but very fun and engaging day at NTC. I got to think a lot about how technology can broadly be used to reimagine what is possible for our society, but also talk brass tacks with fellow website builders. It was a good day!
24NTC Field Notes: Day 1
I presented and then attended three other great sessions on “meetings for teams of one”, ethical AI, and planning inclusive projects. See my slides and resources or read my notes from the other presentations.
Thought-provoking pushback on visual descriptions of speakers in meetings and events
It’s become a common practice in some circles for speakers to provide a description of their physical appearance before speaking. Based on my learnings from blind and low-vision people, I want to be critical in how I approach this accessibility accommodation.

Why I won’t install an accessibility overlay on your website
Anyone who knows me knows that I care a lot about making websites accessible. So it may surprise you that I won’t install a certain kind of web accessibility tool. Here’s why.
2022 Washington State Nonprofit Conference Field Notes: Day 1
Day 1 of the 2022 conference included a keynote all about technology in nonprofits, a presentation by one of my clients, and a brand new name and logo for Washington Nonprofits!
22NTC Field Notes: Day 3
The final day of 22NTC was a fun grab bag! I learned and talked about WordPress and CRMs, data visualization, inclusive presentations, and ended the day listening to author Saeed Jones.
22NTC Field Notes: Day 2
Today included three really fun community conversations—the “hallway track” of this online conference—and then a lot of sessions about including stakeholders in technology projects, usability testing, and the combination of the two!
22NTC Field Notes: Day 1
Day 1 of 22NTC is in the books! I went to lots of sessions about inclusion, disability, and accessibility. And also WordPress, of course!
Celebrating My Accomplishments in 2021!
I always tell my clients that they need to celebrate their victories. So it’s time to follow my own advice. Building off my site launches from last year, I wanted to quickly recap some of the other exciting things I did and built in 2021.
