Design is in the Details
Niki has been designing since they were a little kid - drawing cartoons, making fake newspapers, and planning their plot to take over the world. (Just kidding). Their early interests in design were heightened when they got their first computer, it was love at first sight! They made their first website in 1996, with the help of geocities and word-art. Now the rest is history. Fast forward to today - they're all grown up with a nifty degree that says they knows what they're doing.
How to Take Your Designs from Wireframes to Beautiful Finished Products
Meagan Fisher is a web designer who works through the night to create simple interfaces and well-written markup.

Along the way she has worked with Rails Machine, Halogen Guides, Airbag Industries, Change.org, and MTV.
CSS Organization and Workflow
Jina is an interaction designer at Crush + Lovely. Previously, Jina worked at Apple, Inc. as a visual interaction designer and front end web developer.

Jina co-authored Fancy Form Design and The Art & Science of CSS; she also was an expert reviewer and wrote the foreword for Sexy Web Design.
Principles of UI Design
Sarah was brought up on computers from an early age and always knew her career would be in IT. The story of exactly how she came to be a web designer is a long-winded one, and quite surreal, but in 2003 she took the plunge and started her own business, and hasn't looked back since.

In 2010, we wanted to do something different. In between events, there had been these 2 posts (here and here) where some issues were brought up in our community. So, we decided to run our same event but invite only amazing ladies in the community. It could only work well if we never brought it up. I think we pulled it off and we were only one fish sandwich away from perfection.
Again, the speakers made the day, continuing in the new #frontendconf tradition of delivering awesome presentations and being very approachable. I owe a special thank you to Denise Jacobs for stepping up and sharing as well.
