Christina Varro
Speaker / Educator
For almost 20 years, I have worked in digital media and communications. I have also spent over a decade running my own business, managing projects for clients, giving creative direction to teams, crafting digital media and capturing beautiful images.
I want to give back to the community that has supported me along my career, through sharing knowledge and educating others. Design, technology and visual communications are fields I am passionate about and I enjoy sharing my experience and perspective.
My goal is for my talks to be inspiring, but also practical. I want audience members to walk away with immediately actionable items, that will help them build better websites, take better photos or run their businesses more efficiently.
Topics I speak about include:
- WordPress – management, plugins and security
- Web design – best practices and responsive design
- Freelance business
- Location independence / digital nomading
- Photography – skills and image editing
- Digital strategy
