**Much of this work is from the earliest stages of my career, but created the foundation for all the subsequent projects I've had since leaving Disney. From attention to detail to story to engage and captivate guests; to working in highly interdisciplinary teams; to creating brand experiences the most scrutinized IPs in the world; 4 years at Disney gave me the skills to work with any brand or team in much larger projects since.
