EXCEPTIONAL THEMED ENTERTAINMENT PROJECT SERVICES

SERVICES

Creative Team
Leadership

Great projects begin with great creative teams — but creative excellence requires the right leadership environment to thrive. I help guide multidisciplinary teams through the critical early phases of ideation, feasibility, concept development, and schematic design, creating the structure and momentum needed for breakthrough work. With experience leading award-winning designers, artists, writers, architects, and media teams on world-class attractions, I know how to balance creative freedom with practical project realities, helping teams make timely decisions while protecting the integrity of the guest experience.

Project Management
Services

Successful entertainment projects require more than creativity — they demand disciplined execution. I provide senior-level project leadership for themed entertainment and experience design projects, supporting clients with strategic planning, budgeting, estimating, scheduling, work plans, organizational structure, and executive coordination. My background spans creative development, technical production, operations, and large-scale organizational leadership, allowing me to bridge the gap between creative ambition and real-world delivery. Whether serving as an interim executive, Project Director, or trusted advisor, I help projects move forward with clarity, accountability, and confidence.

Expert Reviews &
Vendor Management

Independent expert review can dramatically improve project outcomes and reduce costly risk. I provide experienced evaluation of proposals, estimates, schedules, technical approaches, bid packages, vendor selections, and project work products across the themed entertainment industry. Having managed complex creative and technical projects from both the client and vendor perspective, I bring practical insight to contract reviews, RFP evaluations, scope alignment, procurement strategy, and partner oversight. My goal is to help clients make informed decisions, strengthen project controls, and ensure teams and vendors are positioned for success from the very beginning.
