Rakee Chen is known for her futuristic, emotionally resonant work that blends digital tools, generative patterns, and immersive media. Her past projects have spanned from Decentraland’s Metaverse Fashion Week to features in Teen Vogue Generation Next, and her 2025 NYFW return builds on her growing reputation as a designer to watch.
LiberLive, an emerging creative music-tech force, has developed the LiberLive C1 - a sleek, sensor-based, stringless smart guitar that empowers anyone to play music through touch and emotion. Launched globally earlier this year, has already won Best of CES 2025 from Rolling Stone and Tom’s Guide, and has been described as a “technological marvel” for its ability to make music creation intuitive and expressive.
