TEDx Organizers

I love contemporary art and design

Art, science, future... culture!!! everything that makes people smiling and thinking

endurance sports, making the world a better place for neglected and abused children, the written word, and understanding the emotional hierachy consumers use and struggle wtih.

Reinvention. I love to see other people's cast-offs reimagined into vibrant, relevant art, dwellings and furniture.

Games, game design, gamification, teaching and learning and making the world a better place for everyone. But at the end of the day, William Gibson got it right. "All things are increasingly interesting to me." It's a real problem staying focused on just one thing sometimes!

Life. In that, I encompass an ever-learning and joyful life-style. I love engineering and new technologies, as thinking about new technologies that could help humanity, on a large scale, live a more sustainable future or even reach other planets. Cars and Automobilism inspire me: based on my TED-Ed talk, some cars are the peak of technology to go faster round racetracks, but some are meant for us to enjoy the ride that life is. However, racing shows me how people can be devoted to something and inspires me to never miss a great opportunity when there is a space. On that, Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian racing driver embodies the life-long hunt to be the best at something one can care about. As a result, I am passionate too about swimming: by staying in the water in motion and simply thinking of going forwards is a relaxing state I constantly need. By swimming, the only outcome is dependant on my effort, and so I learn to move on even if I am tired. But sometimes, when I am only swimming, not go faster, I can find myself floating, not physically but also mentally. It is the time in which I relax and forget everything else. So, all my passions, sum up my mission of making the best I can to help humanity on a large scale by spreading ideas and working hard whilst also enjoying the ride.
