Description
Themed entertainment designers
bring the stories and experiences of our world to life. They weave fictional
and non-fictional narratives into compelling environments- places that elicit
wonder and joy, communicate complex ideas and translate emotional values into tangible
experiences.
SCAD Savannah seeks nationally
recognized candidates for a full-time professor of themed entertainment design. The program blends studios in design and
planning with skill-based drawing and technical courses and classes in
storytelling and experience design.

design.
