A builder of worlds, stories, films, brands, and interactive experiences, Elisabeth is a multi-disciplinary creator focused on bringing completely unprecedented projects with audacious creative goals to life through design, technology, innovation, and storytelling.  With a passion for blending emotional authenticity with epic, aspirational, and deeply textured worldbuilding, Elisabeth is a unique talent with expertise that spans creative direction, immersive experience design, writing, research and development, production strategy, brand stewardship, and entrepreneurship.

​

Elisabeth recently spent two years serving as creator for an ambitious original animated feature, in development with Skydance Animation, honing her directing, writing, character development, and story skills under the mentorship of multiple Academy Award winning directors and producers. She also served passionately on the studio's Story Trust and Inclusion Trust, refining and influencing all of the titles in animation development, in both series and feature.  Elisabeth pitched and developed IMAGINE FROM HOME, an ABC-distributed series, which she also hosted.  And she is featured in THE IMAGINEERING STORY on Disney+.  She is represented for her entertainment work by Chris Noriega and Sara Nestor at Verve.

 

Elisabeth is currently inventing the new medium of the metaverse and defining storytelling for good through the creation of an interactive virtual world that materializes complex global challenges through autonomous discovery, bringing concepts to life in order to: evolve mindsets, create engagement in ideas through delightful participation, and inspire dialogue and commitment, all to catalyze real world impact.  Her work will preview at this year's G20 summit in Bali and will showcase formally at the January 2023 Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum. 

 

Elisabeth’s work can be enjoyed in Disney theme parks around the world, including original storytelling at SOARING: FANTASTIC FLIGHT at Tokyo DisneySea; the renovation of classic Disneyland attractions like PETER PAN’S FLIGHT and ALICE IN WONDERLAND; and the bi-coastal Thea Award-winning land, STAR WARS: GALAXY’S EDGE. She has led technology development for Imagineering’s R&D studio, holds a patent in a new mode of immersive AR/VR technology (US 2022/0283445 A1), and established public brand strategy for waltdisneyimagineering.com.

Elisabeth cut her teeth in a diversity of fields: televised awards shows, production management at The Kennedy Center, dance presentation at Jacob’s Pillow, and curatorial at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. In 2009, Elisabeth launched a nationally-distributed confectionary line, Levity Gourmet Marshmallows. 

She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History from Rice University, and a Master’s Degree in Production Design from Savannah College of Art and Design.
