From museums to theme parks, have you ever wondered, who creates those places? Justin Martin’s design talk will answer that question. Martin’s expertise includes concept design, 3D modeling, character design, art direction, model making, and set decoration. These multidisciplinary design skills contribute to his portfolio of projects including Meow Wolf Convergence Station, Gringotts Wizarding Bank at The Making of Harry Potter London, Universal Orlando’s Volcano Bay Theme Park, and more. He will discuss breaking into and navigating this small but unique creative industry and what fuels his inspiration and perseverance.

His work pushes the boundaries of reality, transporting guests to places and moments opposite to their everyday lives.
