I was very excited to attend the Internet Freedom Festival this year in Valencia, Spain (March 1-6) and to volunteer as a lead for the Community & Communications track. I attended many great sessions on subjects such as the Iranian Cyber Army, Privacy Across Cultures and the gender gap at Wikimedia. Above I'm pictured with Gus Andrews, Simply Secure who helped lead a UX Jam with Christopher Wood, Grid Systems. We collaborated on develop the UX for the GridSync app. I also enjoyed giving a brief presentation about our work at Razorfish to a great group of UXers and Designers at Salón de Deseño, hosted by the good folks at Simply Secure.
