Universal Studios Beijing CITYWALK

In my role as Creative Project Director and Assistant Director for Projects, I had the exciting opportunity to lead a multifaceted endeavor that encompassed the development of a sprawling resort, a comprehensive Theme Park Master Plan, Land Development, Attraction Development, CityWalk, and a collection of eleven owned and operated venues.

This ambitious project demanded a holistic approach, as I was entrusted with overseeing every facet, from initial concept to final completion. My primary objective was to ensure that the project not only met its deadlines but also adhered to strict budget constraints.

One of the core responsibilities was navigating the intricate landscape of governmental approvals and regulations. This necessitated constant coordination with government entities, executive leadership, and our valued joint venture partner. My role demanded robust communication and negotiation skills, coupled with a deep understanding of the complex international project environment.

Additionally, I was entrusted with shaping the creative direction of this venture. Collaborating closely with a talented team of designers, architects, and creative professionals, I worked diligently to ensure that every aspect of the project aligned seamlessly with the company's design standards and guidelines.

In summary, my role as Assistant Director for Projects and Creative Project Director was a dynamic and challenging one. I oversaw the realization of the resort development, CityWalk, and a diverse portfolio of eleven owned and operated venues. My responsibilities spanned from government coordination to creative direction, all with the ultimate goal of delivering a project that met and exceeded the company's design standards and guidelines.
