About David Olson
I love building worlds. For over 15 years, I’ve explored the intersection of story, design, and technology—from the backlots of Hollywood to the Research Triangle in North Carolina. As Creative Director at Lucid Dream, I lead multidisciplinary teams crafting immersive, emotionally grounded experiences that feel alive.My foundation in screenwriting and production drives how I direct interactive narratives—through tension, empathy, and rhythm. I love working with my team to develop experiences where people can discover meaning through challenge and choice. Whether writing, directing, or mentoring creative teams, my goal is constant—to build worlds worth exploring and stories worth replaying.
