Walt Disney Imaginations is an annual contest put on by Walt Disney Imagineering. In 2018-2019, I was a participant. I along with Animator Sam Concklin and Architect Payton Prosser, ideated, researched, conceptualized, and visualized a recreation of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
I worked as the Project Coordinator, Cultural and Historical Researcher, Artist, and Team Lead. I managed schedules, interfaced with contest organizers, researched cultural and historical aspects of the Hanging Gardens and Iraq, rendered buildings and outdoor areas, and led meetings on design features and guest experiences.
The project was conceived by the Bradley University and University of Kansas Team and created for the 2019 Walt Disney Imagineering’s Imaginations Design Competition. This project is the sole property of Walt Disney Imagineering and all rights to use these ideas are exclusive to Walt Disney Imagineering. The competition is a way for students and recent graduates to showcase their talents and for Walt Disney Imagineering to identify new talent.
