TEDxToronto

Project: 2019 conference, RISE

Recruitment of the core creative team and Creative Direction over the 2019 conference campaign for TEDxToronto that included creative exploration and development of a visual identity that explored the 2019 TEDxToronto theme: RISE.

The theme logo was to be distinct from any other TEDx theme around the world while still being inclusive and resonating with a diverse audience. Final creative to be shared across programming, marketing, conference creative, partnerships, community outreach and the delegate experience.

Leading a talented team as we explore that inherent tension and ask: what does it take for all of us, as a society, to rise together?

Concept and execution include:

• Launch of the first TEDxToronto app
• Conference & theme visual identities
• Social media graphics
• Printed invitations
• Conference program
• Apparel & swag design
• UX & audience experience
• Booklets
• Venue decor
• Stage design
• Signage
• Badge design
• Ad design
• Speaker slides
