AI Salon Series

Signals

Head of Marketing & Design (TED AI Spin-off)

Signals of TEDAI San Francisco website

Signals is a monthly AI salon series under the TEDAI ecosystem.

As part of the founding team, I helped build and lead the brand, marketing, and content for the series.

I onboarded and managed a small team across branding, content, and event execution, and created the full brand identity, narrative, and promotional content from scratch.

IDEO & Signals

In partnership with IDEO, our June gathering brought together artists, executives, and AI pioneers for a dynamic evening exploring the tensions and possibilities between human-centered design and machine intelligence. From panel conversations to behind-the-scenes interviews, the event sparked bold ideas and deep reflection on the future of AI, creativity, and society.

Running the Series

I managed the full event lifecycle — from concept and promotion to live execution and post-event content distribution.

Partnership outreach with IDEO, Obvious Ventures, and Niantic Spatial consistently delivered sold-out events with 1,000+ waitlist registrations.

I also produced video interviews end to end — writing questions, recording, post-production, and publishing.
