Michael Overman is an accomplished Creative Director, Art Director and Show Designer with 15 years of experience in Themed Entertainment. As a graduate of Art Center College of Design with a BFA in Illustration with emphasis in Entertainment Design. I demonstrate a passion to create astounding attractions, places and experiences. I strive to lead design and champion creative – all while providing quality art direction from concept through production to installation. I’ve collaborated, designed, worked and installed many multi-million dollar experiences, attractions, lands and parks both domestically and internationally.

I’ve worked for both Fortune 500 companies (Walt Disney Imagineering/Universal Creative/20th Century Fox: FoxNext) as well as smaller design firms. I have an understanding of what it takes to complete the job whether it be from the perspective of the client or client service representative. I understand what it takes to be effective when working within the various constraints of the project. Whether the scope is large or small, I have provided the quality that is expected at every level.
