Insights From A Disney Imagineer
Ever wonder what it’s like to help bring Disney’s magic to life?
Join us for an inspiring session with a former Disney Imagineer and professional sculptor who has carved out a creative career on her own terms. From screen-printing in junior college to shaping jaw-dropping visual experiences for global audiences, her story is about more than art—it's about bold commitment, pushing boundaries, and believing in your path even when others don’t.
This session is for anyone with a dream. Hear how one artist turned challenges into opportunities, turned “no” into fuel, and discovered how to harness energy, intention, and persistence to build a life filled with purpose and creativity.
No art skills required. Just curiosity, courage, and a desire to create your own magic.
