WALT DISNEY COMPANY

Artist; Disneyland Resort Enhancement

June 2022 - November 2023

I had the incredible honor of being a part of a small design team, focused on designing and elevating the permanent and seasonal display projects for the Disneyland Resort, including but not limited to: seasonal holiday decor, window displays, and illustrations and designs found throughout various attractions and park destinations. This role was highly unique in that I not only designed concept art with visual appeal and appropriate scope and theming, but saw these designs through concept, sourcing, fabrication, and installation, having a hand in every step of the process. Some of my notable projects include: window displays throughout Main Street USA in Disneyland Park for the Walt Disney Company's 100th Anniversary Celebration, and an entirely new holiday decor package with innumerable new design elements (including murals, banners, signage, large-scale rugs/flooring, window cling graphics, holiday decorations, and more) for the historic Disneyland Hotel.
