About Debbie

Born and raised in Southern California, Debbie grew up down the street from Disneyland and knew at the precocious age of four that she was destined to work for The Mouse. She worked at Disneyland throughout college selling more Mickey plush than any human should. In her last year at college, Debbie entered a cast member design competition for Walt Disney Imagineering and out of over 300 applicants became one of two that landed a coveted internship at Walt Disney Imagineering. She started in the graphics department and over her 24 years with Imagineering moved up the ladder into Creative Development as a Concept/Show Designer, Art Director and eventually a Creative Director. Debbie has led large teams throughout the years including those for Pixar Pier and Star Wars Launch Bay just to name a few. She believes that you get the best possible product if you are having fun in the process and loves collaborating to brainstorm the best ideas and make them reality with her team. After her tenure at Disney she has spent over three years with Paramount Pictures Parks & Resorts designing projects for Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon including theme parks and hotels.
