About Event

Using three objects that the participants bring to the workshop, creative strategist, Michaela Ternasky-Holland, will explore experience design within the three-act structure of onboarding, story, and aftercare. This workshop is designed to activate the mindset of audience perspective and participation as well as equip creators with thinking about the different technologies and ways to craft an experience.

What to Bring: Three items of any meaning

About Michaela

Michaela Ternasky-Holland is a queer and mixed race Emmy, Webby, and Sheffield Doc/Fest award-winning documentarian, who combines experimental content with traditional mediums. She works with clients as a consultant and creative strategist. She is a recognized public speaker who has presented at international conferences, public institutions, and podcasts. Her work has been featured by TIME, Forbes, The Guardian, Cannes Film Festival, New York Public Library, Tribeca Film Festival and more.

Not only does she strive to be a part of purpose-driven projects that vocalize and educate about diversity in storytelling, but she also works in tandem with decision-makers, committees, and boards of directors that financially support, mentor, and create opportunities for those of all backgrounds. In short, she works for the impact of the projects to move beyond the project itself.

She has been invaluable within these spaces to raise awareness concerning but not limited to: privilege, neurodivergent, differing physical abilities, ethnicities, sexual identifications, and age.

Recently, she produced and co-created a 2020 virtual reality project named, Lutaw, which was nominated for the Positron Visionary Award at Cannes XR and is a finalist in the International VR Awards in the category of VR Film of the Year.

Her previous employment with the Walt Disney Company sparked her interest in building worlds, and her central vision is to find the perfect marriage between the integrity of the narrative and a guest’s interaction with emerging technology.
