I'll be speaking at Web Directions South

Here’s the blurb I sent them a few weeks back, from the program:

You’re a great web designer. You craft beautiful interfaces, you’ve nailed standards based design, and you’re at the top of your game. So now what? Based on real world experiences, this presentation encourages you, the modern web designer, to ignore the title on your business card and to start thinking about your real role in the development process – what you have to offer, what your team really needs, and what you could do to dramatically increase your value on a daily basis.

I’ve tentatively titled the presentation “Pushing Beyond Design”, mainly because I refused to call it “Designer 2.0” (or anything else with a “2.0” suffix), but I’m sure you get the idea.

So, I expect you all to be there in Sydney this September to heckle me from the front row.

Mark Mansour (my manager at RedBubble) is also speaking and at first glance I’m also looking forward to the presentations by Stephen Cox, Cameron Adams and Aaron Gustafson, but there’s lots of good stuff in there.
