Speaker Testimonials
“A fantastic first session at BarCamp Manchester with a lot of great information. Kyle obviously knows her stuff, and more importantly, she knows how to present it. I felt like a student in a classroom, where the professor is teaching but also looking for interaction with her audience.It would've been great if she had longer than 45 minutes, as her insights into user testing and card sorting was all very useful material.”

“Two thumbs up! Kyle is an engaging and energetic speaker. The hands-on exercise was a bit of a risk but it went off w/o a hitch. Kyle went the extra mile to include it in her presentation and it was all the better for it!”
