About Josh Mikkelsen
As a project manager and producer, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to every project I undertake. Over the course of my career, I have had the pleasure of working on a variety of high-profile projects, from large scale entertainment activations to immersive experiences. Throughout each project, I have remained committed to delivering experiences that are creative and immersive for our guests. My approach to project management is built around a deep understanding of the creative process, as well as a keen sense of organization and attention to detail. I believe in fostering strong relationships with all stakeholders, from clients and vendors to designers and technicians, in order to create a collaborative and productive working environment. In addition to my project management and production skills, I also have extensive experience in team leadership and mentoring. I take pride in building and nurturing talented teams of creatives and technical experts, and in providing them with the support and guidance they need to excel in their roles.
