Sydney Rafter

Artist, Designer, World traveler

My name is Sydney Rafter and I am the Creative Director for Coach Ali Levin! Our mission is to help ambitious women rise in their careers, and repair the "broken rung" that holds 10% of women back from promotion. I would love to talk with you about promoting women, please reach out on our social media or website (@coachalilevin, www.coachalilevin.com)! I grew up an avid equestrian, competing on the national jumper circuit throughout the United States for 12 years. I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Georgia, and worked as a junior agent in Hollywood for three years before teaming up with Ali Levin. In my free time I am an avid gardener, yogi, and love making pottery! I've recently taken up Spanish lessons which I plan to utilize on my world travels. Most recently I have traveled to Peru, Thailand, and Iceland. My love for travel knows no bounds; immersing myself in different cultures is invigorating and always leaves me with a new sense of self and view of our world. I'd love to hear your suggestions for where I should go next!

Women's advancement, pottery, television, film, yoga, horses, gardening, my cat and spreading optimism.

The world needs more women in leadership positions!

TEDWomen 2020 is my first ever TED event, and I am so excited to be here!

Cooking and baking! I'm an avid cook/baker and am always on the hunt for new recipes.
