Esther Wang is the Founder of Joytingle - a social enterprise that believes in helping children cope with chronic illness and stressful medical procedures through meaningful designs. Inspired by a short volunteer stint - Esther saw the need to communicate effectively with children about medical procedures / chronic illness - to gain their co-operation and remove misconception that medical treatment is a form of punishment. More importantly, well-designed tools will be a time saver to healthcare professionals. A James Dyson Award Global Top 15 Finalist, Esther is grateful that her work was seen on CNN, Huffington Post and Wired.Co. She believes that design is beyond beautiful things, design is her gateway to helping people.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
