WHO IS ANDINI?

Andini Makosinski is a Filipino-Polish-Armenian “Renaissance Woman,” blending her passions for innovation, storytelling, and the arts. At just 15, her invention of the Hollow Flashlight—a flashlight powered by body heat—won the Google Science Fair and led to viral recognition, multiple appearances on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and global keynote speaking opportunities. She later invented the eDrink, a coffee mug that converts excess heat from a hot beverage into electricity to charge small devices, further cementing her reputation as a young face in sustainable technology.

Named to TIME and Forbes “30 Under 30” lists, as well as one of Entrepreneur Magazine’s “Young Millionaires,” Andini has spoken worldwide on creativity, innovation, and the crucial yet often overlooked intersection of art and science. She has given five TEDx talks and has been invited to speak at the political G7 and Y20 Summits.

Andini also hosts two seasons of Your World on Money, a financial literacy show for Million Stories Media that demystifies personal finance for Gen Z, and appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to promote the series. Additionally, Andini has hosted the Greentech Festival and Green Awards alongside F1 Champion Nico Rosberg in Singapore, London, NY, and LA, celebrating global sustainability and innovation.

She recently hosted Hedy Lamarr: Untold Legends, a BBC Radio 1 series about the Hollywood actress and inventor behind WiFi and Bluetooth. Andini also produces and directs music videos, including projects for sitarist Anoushka Shankar, indie-pop artist Cati Landry and rapper bbno$.

Andini is currently working on her book, which explores how thinking like an inventor can help positively shape one's professional and personal life. Andini dabbles in stand-up comedy and is represented by Play Management for her acting endeavors, continuing her mission to bridge science and storytelling in unexpected ways.
