Mady Townsend madyktownsend.com World building has had a pervasive effect on every generation. I thrive on creating captivating themed spaces that allow visitors to live within their favorite stories. Fantasy can become reality if you think outside of the box. As a designer well-versed in theatre, I have an extensive wheelhouse of techniques from concept painting to creative writing and fabrication. Bringing to fruition vivid themed spaces is a venture that leads to a heartening outcome as guests partake in these alternate realities for generations to come.
Lorie Wheeler loriewheeler.myportfolio.com Entertainment is powerful. Nothing impacts the world like a compelling story, whether written by people or authored by world events. Our attention is pulled by intrigue and held when engrossed in emotional investment. It is my ambition to learn ways of wielding this immense power to create a more empathetic and sustainable world. I believe entertainment can be a spellbinding tool when used to bring active attention to subject matters that are in dire need of engagement. Some of these matters include landfills, recycling, food deserts, oil spills, deteriorating social and industrial infrastructures. As a Creative Director I use playful experimentation, design thinking, and visualization tools such as illustration and collage making to realize these environments independently or within multi-disciplinary creative teams.
