Asian Creative Festival is an annual two day event that highlights AAPI culture and creativity. This year’s theme “Empowering Creators, Sustaining Dreams” aimed to foster an environment where creativity would be seen as a pathway to social and economic prosperity.
With the opportunity to create the festival’s Day 2 programming, we organized a Speaker Panel and Creative Hackathon featuring Asian creative women killing in their respective games.
💖 “Making a Living Making Things” Speaker Panel
We covered many truths of being a creative—from building your brand to embracing the unknown to scaling your business to creating content to maintaining your mentl health and everything in between.
💖 Creative Hackthon
Three creative teams put their skills to the test by completing a creative brief in a 1 hour sprint. They were then tasked with presenting their work to a judging panel and live audience, shark tank style, for a $500 prize.
They were then given 1 hour to deliver a restaurant concept, name, and logo to our judges and live audience.
