Thinkwell's leadership team announced today the promotion of Jason McManus to the title of Principal. With nearly 20 years of experience in the themed entertainment industry and more than five years at Thinkwell, Jason has both led and collaborated on some of the world's most premier entertainment projects in his prior role as Senior Creative and Art Director.

Jason was voted one of 2020's Blooloop Top 50 Theme Park Influencers, and he has led the development of recent global and award-winning projects, including Universal Orlando's Cinematic Celebration nighttime spectacular and its Marathon of Mayhem show extensions at Universal Studios Florida; the Manchester City Stadium Tour in Manchester, England; SEVEN Entertainment Developments within the KSA, and numerous other international and domestic projects.
"Jason's dedication to Thinkwell's projects and internal team development has only grown during the pandemic, and his commitment to Thinkwell's values and goals has made him a valued company leader," notes Tyler Rinehart, VP of Production for Thinkwell. "The passion he shares within his project teams and his strategic approach to finding and nurturing new business partnerships has helped push us forward. We are excited to have Jason in this new role as his influence in future projects and collaboration with our clients continues to evolve."
Prior to working for Thinkwell, Jason worked in creative leadership roles within Walt Disney Imagineering and other experiential design firms and currently teaches themed entertainment design at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts).
