​

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 active titles in animation development, for both series and feature. Elisabeth pitched and developed IMAGINE FROM HOME, an ABC-distributed series, which she also hosted. She is featured in THE IMAGINEERING STORY on Disney+.
 
Elisabeth regularly invents and defines new mediums of experience and immersive technologies. In 2022-2023, she led a multi-organizational team of more than 100 people through creative development, production, and delivery of a cause-driven metaverse for the World Economic Forum. Applying environment, experience, and narrative design to emerging technology, she partnered with Accenture and Microsoft to create an interactive virtual world that materializes complex global challenges through autonomous discovery. Called the Global Collaboration Village, this project evolved into an ongoing experience and platform, bringing social, environmental, and economic 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. Elisabeth’s metaverse work previewed at the 2022 G20 summit in Bali and showcased formally for an audience of 600 heads of state and world leaders at the January 2023 Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum.
