Speaking Engagements
I’ve taught Themed Entertainment Design courses with The Essential Art Department to more than 100 students, joined podcasts to talk shop about my career and the wider experiential design world, and given guest lectures at universities nationwide. Below is a curated selection of my media appearances.
I grew up devouring everything I could about experiential design. Now I’m paying it forward, sharing what I’ve learned to help the next generation of designers grow, think differently, and build more thoughtful, memorable immersive experiences.
