Lia Rudd liarudd.com Guest-centered design elicits great passion in me. I eagerly absorb information from stories and investigate how the environment drives the narrative. My enthusiasm towards studying the culture of others encourages my desire to practice languages including American Sign Language and Spanish. I employ digital modeling and set development to manifest this fascination into a physical form. In four years of my experience planning unforgettable events and cultivating individualized encounters I found my love of guest- centered design.
Branden Tolley batolley.com Motion media and sculpture have been integral to my artistic process. These tools give me the ability to design, construct, and enhance themed environments. I conceptualize through digital iteration and animated graphics, fabricate with physical mediums such as glass and wood, and add finishing touches through use of projections, lighting, and visual effects. Combining these disciplines has allowed me to experiment with mixing media and concepts to create immersive works that leave the traditional screen and not only interact with our eyes, but our ears, sense of touch, and even, on occasion, taste and smell. A multi-sensory approach creates cutting edge guest responsive experiences that are designed not only to envelop the senses but, entertain, inspire, and impact those who view them.
