You heard it right! Michelle Hammer, the Creator and Founder of Schizophrenic.NYC did a Tedx Talk this past Thursday, Nov. 7. The Tedx Talk was hosted by Janssen Netherlands.
Last year Michelle posted some of her artwork on Twitter and and a manager of Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in New Jersey suggested she got in touch with the art directors.
Michelle ended up licensing two pieces of artwork to Janssen and the artwork was used all over the world.
The Surgical Print
The Silence Print
Because Janssen Netherlands had Michelle’s Artwork in their office they thought it would be a great idea to invite her to tell her story about Schizophrenia and Artwork. Writing the speech was was hard because Michelle wanted it to be perfect. Michelle also practiced her speech countless times to make sure she would remember it. It went great.
