ABOUT GUIDIAN SHTURMAN

I design story-driven immersive experiences where space, technology, and human emotion come together. Whether in entertainment, themed environments, healthcare, or emerging technology spaces, my focus is the same: creating deep emotional impact.My background bridges live performance, immersive production, healthcare innovation, and interactive systems design. I began as a performer and later directed and produced large-scale concerts and shows, mentoring creative teams, shaping narrative arcs, and solving problems in real time while audiences responded.Over time, that curiosity expanded beyond the stage.At FisioHAL, I lead innovation and patient experience. I designed and built a 270-degree immersive therapy environment that applied themed entertainment principles to healthcare. By integrating projection mapping, spatial audio, XR, and interactive systems, we transformed rehabilitation into something more human, engaging, and personal.One moment stays with me. A young cancer survivor who had not stood in months stepped into the immersive system and shouted, “I am flying.” That was when it became clear that immersive experiences can do more than entertain. They can restore dignity and connection.At ROTU Entertainment, I focus on pushing the technical boundaries of storytelling. As Creative Producer and AI Department Lead, I work with Unreal Engine and real-time systems to build responsive immersive environments, exploring how interactive technology can support audience agency.Through this work and my M.S. in Themed Experience at UCF, I continue exploring how physical and digital environments merge into meaningful, story-driven experiences.I am especially drawn to theme parks, exhibitions, and hybrid physical-digital experiences where audiences of all ages step into a story together.At the end of the day, I am in the making-people-smile industry.
