Suzy Easton turned a hackathon-by-accident into a revelation. With a Tuesday deadline and an idea for an “esoteric ASMR video about geography,” she started prompting—then realized she didn’t want someone else’s platform dictating her creative process.

So she built her own.

A musician turned technologist who never felt “qualified” to be an architect, Suzy discovered through AI filmmaking that she’d been architecting systems all along. The platform became a Vancouver-inspired GASlamp scene, an asset library, and a statement: she didn’t want to use 11 Labs or Suno. She wanted to synthesize her own sounds, her own way. Open source. Not for money—for ownership of the creative process.

This fireside chat is about permission—specifically, not waiting for it. Suzy talks about breaking barriers in her career, building autonomous systems at work, and why the time is now to carve your own path.
