I led the creative vision and execution for the launch of the Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University, a high-profile general session bringing together global leaders in science, technology, and AI.

The event featured keynote remarks from Mark Zuckerberg, Priscilla Chan, and Harvard President Larry Bacow, along with dynamic panels from top thinkers like Sam Altman, Bill Gates, and Yann LeCun.

 My role spanned end-to-end creative leadership, including:  Stage and environmental design  to reflect the convergence of science and technology.  Motion graphics and content direction  across keynote screens and interstitials.  Presentation design

My role spanned end-to-end creative leadership, including:
Stage and environmental design to reflect the convergence of science and technology.
Motion graphics and content direction across keynote screens and interstitials.
Presentation design for all speakers, ensuring visual cohesion and clarity.
Printed signage and wayfinding systems to guide and orient attendees across multiple venue spaces.
A robotics + ballet performance by physicist-dancer Merritt Moore, symbolizing the fusion of human creativity and machine intelligence.
A student-led AI expo, elevating emerging research and next-gen ideas through interactive exhibits and hands-on demos.

From visual storytelling to real-time event design, this launch demonstrated my ability to shape visionary narratives into tangible experiences, merging institutional impact with artistic expression.
