I was a part of a team my junior and senior year of college that competed in the Disney Imaginations Design Competition.

What Is It?

It's an annual design challenge Disney organizes to search for talent. Teams are tasked with creating a concept based on a prompt. The final deliverable is a slide deck presenting the team's ideas and story behind the design. 

2017

Prompt: 

Apply the same design principles in creating Disney's famous theme parks, resorts and immersive experience to develop new outdoor spaces within your own college or university that could address the diverse needs of students, faculty and visitors while also providing a respite from the stresses of everyday life.

2016

Prompt: 

Design a traveling experience that could tour small towns across the United States for families who do not have the opportunity to travel to a Disney park. This temporary venue would operate in each community for two to three days, should take no more than a day to set up and break down, and embodies the kind of family entertainment that Walt Disney envisioned when he first built Disneyland.
