Over the course of a year, I worked closely with the organising team to shape the event’s creative direction, develop a cohesive theme, and design an experience that extended beyond the stage. My role encompassed logistics management, speaker coordination, audience engagement strategies, and the integration of interactive elements that would make the event feel immersive and participatory.

Beyond ensuring seamless audiovisual setups, smooth registration processes, and efficient behind-the-scenes operations, I introduced playful and hands-on experiences that encouraged curiosity, conversation and connection. From interactive installations to gamified networking activities, I designed moments that transformed the audience from passive listeners to active participants.

On event day, I balanced both production leadership and public speaking—delivering my talk while ensuring the event ran smoothly. This experience strengthened my ability to merge strategic event design with creative storytelling, demonstrating how play and engagement can be powerful tools for learning, reflection, and community-building.

Relmi Damiano's recent TEDx talk titled 'Biohacking Your Creative Self' was an incredibly inspiring journey through her personal struggles and the significance of her name, which means rainbow. As a successful photographer, designer, and PhD student in innovation, Relmi shared her path to finding inspiration in color and beauty, highlighting the importance of focusing on one's creative strengths rather than limitations. Through her talk, Relmi emphasized that creativity is inherent in everyone, dispelling the myth that it's reserved for a select few. She shared personal anecdotes and insights into how embracing various artistic forms, such as dance, has been pivotal to her well-being and professional achievements. Moreover, Relmi generously offered five practical tips to biohack one's creative self, drawing from compelling and evidence-based research. These tips were not only simple to grasp but profoundly impactful, allowing immediate integration into daily life. I am eager to apply these strategies personally and share them with my clients, family, and friends. Overall, Relmi's talk left a lasting impression, reminding us all to follow the rainbow in our own journeys towards creativity and fulfillment. Her message resonated deeply, encouraging us to tap into our innate imagination and embrace the beauty of our unique creative paths.
