Rory Brunner

I am the President of the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) at UC. I am currently majoring in Industrial Design with a focus on the themed entertainment industry.

Since my first art class in kindergarten, I have loved to create. It started with miscellaneous crafts and has led to scrapbooks, digital art, watercolors, and many other forms of creativity. I grew up going on vacations to Disney World, where I would imagine my own theme parks and rides. My dream is to foster the emotions and experiences my family felt in Disney for other families!

I am in my fourth year at DAAP in Industrial Design. I completed two co-op rounds with Kingdom Productions, a themed environment solutions company. I currently work at Soccer Village as a Part-Time Retail Processing Associate. I have been a Student Worker/TA for DAAP Camp in the summers of 2024 & 2026. I completed the Purdue Online Themed Entertainment Design Certificate in Summer 2026.
