Lisa is a journalist who is best known online for the award-nominated blog TokyoMango and for founding the San Francisco-based design thinking boot camp The Tofu Project, which helps entrepreneurs from Japan bring their ideas more effectively to the rest of the world. She writes about Japanese culture for Wired, Boing Boing, The New York Times Magazine, and NPR and has spoken about Japanese culture and innovation at major conferences in Japan, Singapore, and the US.

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)
