What is your room telling you? | Meena Krenek | TEDxAtlanta

Why can one room make you feel bold while another leaves you guarded? Design futurist Meena Krenek takes us from a childhood bedsheet fort to a high-stakes business meeting to explore the quiet influence of the spaces we enter every day. Meena Krenek has spent her career designing spaces around one conviction: Rooms don't simply hold our lives. They shape them.

An award-winning design director, Meena creates environments that strengthen culture and forge emotional connections between people and place. For more than two decades, she has brought architecture and interior design together across workplaces, stadiums, restaurants and other spaces, using design to influence how people feel, move, connect and experience an organization.

At the heart of Meena's work is human experience. Rather than designing spaces simply to look beautiful, she considers what they communicate, how they tell a story and, ultimately, what they ask of the people who inhabit them. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
