(Neri Oxam: Picture courtesy of Fast Company's June 2009 issue) I was fortunate to have attended a reception celebrating The 100 Most Creative People in Business hosted by Fast Company Magazine. Those who received this honor ranged from a SVP with the Apple uber brand, to fashion icon Stella McCartney and music maven Lisa Ellis. While these are stellar names, I was extremely impressed by the everyday people making extraordinary strides in their professions.
One of the honorees that stood out the most was Neri Oxman who serves as a Presidential Fellow for the MIT Media Lab. Neri's background includes work as an architecture, computer scientist and artist. She considers herself a professional student, having spent a number of years completing various degrees, but in 10 months she'll receive her Ph.D. Neri's portfolio is impressive. She's known for combining her knowledge of sustainable materials and design to create unique master pieces. Neri is doing awesome work in her field. Fast Company reports she's currently seeking a patent for a one of the kind 3-D printer. It's refreshing to see a women in a non-conventional field stand-out as Neri does. All 100 honorees are featured on Fast Company's website, but I encourage you to buy the print version because it includes a more indepth profile of everyone. Congrats to all who made the list! Women, start making your Moves today!
