Hello, I’m Yudong Zhang, a recent themed entertainment program graduate with a passion for creating emotionally resonant live entertainment experiences.
I am one of the leading creators of CONT:NUUM—Event Horizon, an escape room experience and Murder! In Wonderland, an Alice in Wonderland themed miniature golf, two pop-up experiences showcased at USC Games Expo, attracted hundreds of visitors.
Welcome to explore my portfolio site about the projects I have done.
My academic background at USC, where I studied Themed Entertainment and Communication, gave me a comprehensive skill set spanning narrative development, experiential design, production management, and hands-on fabrication — taking projects from blue-sky concept to final production.
I've sharpened these skills through hands-on roles: as an Entertainment Assistant/Character Attendant at Shanghai Disney Resort and Walt Disney World, hosting character meet-and-greets and seasonal shows; as an Operations Intern at Legoland Shanghai, developing guest games, ride scripts, and safety protocols; and as a Show Ambassador at IAAPA Expo 2024, supporting show operations and leading tours for hundreds of attendees.
