Quarter Finalist - Walt Disney Imagineering 2025 Imaginations Competition | Fall 2025

I was part of a four-person team tasked with designing a stress-relieving space on campus. We developed Gear Garden, an outdoor garden concept where each section represents a different college at UT Austin. I contributed as Participant 4 in the team slideshow, focusing on the fountain design (modeling/research) and assisting with story development.

• The project was conceived by the University of Texas at Austin Team and created for the 2025 Walt Disney Imagineering's Imaginations Design Competition.
• This project is the sole property of Walt Disney Imagineering and all rights to use these ideas are exclusive to Walt Disney Imagineering.
• The competition is a way for students and recent graduates to showcase their talents for Walt Disney Imagineering to identify new talent.
