I’M A CREATIVE LEADER with a passion for the art of direction and its unique application within experiencedesign. In such a complex medium, I believe in fostering processes - ones rooted in sound storytelling principles - so that teams possess creative freedom and that all forms of expression converge to produce experiences of true thematic cohesion.As a big-picture thinker with a background across various disciplines, I bring a comprehensive understanding of the entire project landscape. I enjoy providing ways of thinking, analyzing, and helping others succeed. But above all, I enjoy guiding work that emotionally resonates and has the power to positively impact people’s lives. I view it as my responsibility as a director to pay it forward - utilizing the full breadth of my abilities to support teams so they can ultimately create unique and deeply-meaningful experiences for others.PORTFOLIO @ www.rob-phelps.comRECENT PROJECTS:• Crayola (Traveling Exhibition)• DaVinci Science Center• Nauticus• Discovery World on Market• Universal's Epic UniversePREVIOUS PROJECTS OF NOTE:• Port Discovery Children's Museum• Connecticut Science Center • Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort• Disney's Art of Animation Resort• American Adventure (fountain renovation) - EpcotAREAS OF FOCUS:• Creative Direction, Vision, and Leadership• Art Direction (studio and field)• Pitching, Presenting, and Team Communication• Attraction, Show Set, and Scenic Design• 3D Pre-Viz (models, real-time renders, and animatics)• Design and Safety Standards (IBC, ADA, ASTM, CPSC)• Partnering with various DOWs | Vendor ManagementDIGITAL PROFICIENCIES• Modeling with 3ds Max, ZBrush, Maya, Rhino, SketchUp• Real-Time Rendering with Unreal Engine• Coordinated Drawing Packages with AutoCAD, Layout• Project Coordination with Revit, BIM 360, Bluebeam• Adobe CC (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Premiere, After Effects, Audition)• Mac and Windows ecosystems | Office | iWork
