Brett Jackson

Live Action Attractions

Brett Jackson is an artist and experience designer of interactive attractions for folks like Disney, Netflix, Universal, Google, the United Nations and Meow Wolf. Always playful and comedic, Brett’s work promotes creativity and utopian solutions. He has applied the interactive arts to help stop poaching, combat misinformation, change international climate policy and train citizen activists to phone bank. Brett is honored to serve on the Themed Entertainment Association’s western division board of directors and is the chairperson for international events connecting all four global divisions. He also holds an MFA in game design from Parsons Design & Technology program if anyone’s checking that stuff.

Here in Los Angeles, Brett runs Imagi-Ne’er-Do-Wells – the kooky concepts club for creators of experience. We meet once a month to play at inventing a new attraction based on a surprise creative prompt and laugh with other weirdos as they attempt to do the same. Currently in an extended second residency at Two Bit Circus.

Mostly, Brett’s the founder of Live Action Attractions, providing creative strategy, design & direction for live games and experiences to the themed entertainment industry.
