Founded in 2011, TEDxBrownU raises members of the Brown University and the wider Providence community to share their voices on a platform that promotes innovative ideas and compelling narratives. This year, the program embarked on the theme of “Detours” in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
An original idea was proposed by Megan Sweeney (RISD B.Arch 2024). I refined this design and together we developed the Rhino file for the CNC. We cut the pieces out of plywood and assembled them with the TEDxBrownU stage design team for the event.
