2009 will be my 5th TED. While Creative Director at Macromedia I worked a redesign of ted.com with Chris Anderson, then went to my first TED in 2005 & become a TED-addict! The following year I involved my team in one of the first TED wishes, working with the ONE.org to launch their successful web initiative to reach 1B eyeballs. I followed this up in 2006 by engaging a super talented team from Adobe with EO Wilson's Wish & helped develop an innovative interactive visualization for the Tree of Life.
