• At Meow Wolf, I led teams in creating immersive, world-building experiences, with custom interactive designs and innovative audience engagement. I worked to blend product innovation, multi-material design, and nonlinear storytelling to enhance guest freedom and agency. Core to my work, I frequently developed and implemented holocratic (decentralized) frameworks for conceptual design and production. This approach best distributed decision-making in our highly collaborative work environment, making a more adaptable, efficient, and empowered workplace.
