Andy Martin is creative director for Walt Disney Imagineering, the creative powerhouse that designs and builds all the Disney theme parks, resorts, attractions and cruise ships. He has a background in architecture and more than 15 years’ experience in theme park design and operations.
“My passion for new ideas and a relentless drive to make them real has… given me the opportunity to innovate and deliver upon a number of diverse projects that range from the vibrant world of Legoland parks and resorts to the nostalgic elegance of Sheraton’s London Mayfair location,” says Martin.
“My strengths on each project stem from a desire and curiosity for storytelling, emotion and detail, which in turn drive my proven approach to leadership whilst coordinating live teams, dealing with external suppliers and communicating a creative vision.”
At Walt Disney Imagineering, Martin leads the creative and artistic design for experiences and attractions. He provides direction to all project team members, including writers, attraction and experience designers, media and music directors, illustrators and graphic artists.
Before joining Disney’s Imagineers, Martin served in several roles for Merlin Entertainments, including as creative lead for new Legoland resorts.
