• Build Prototypes: Take the lead in building prototypes of Submersive’s concepts, creatively blending hot and cold therapies (such as steam rooms, saunas, and ice baths) with multisensory elements like light, sound, scent, and touch. This stage is essential for validating concepts and refining requirements for permanent builds. Guided by Corvas’s vision and informed by input from artists and subject-matter experts, this phase will require more independent initiative compared to more team-driven later phases.

• Oversee Creative Integration and Execution: Partner with leadership, architects, contractors, artists, sound engineers, vendors, and subject matter experts to integrate diverse creative disciplines into cohesive plans for execution into the permanent physical space. For example, integrating technologies such as projection mapping, augmented reality, and biofeedback with thermal environments like steam rooms and saunas.
• Art & Installation Curation:  Work with the creative team to source and collaborate with artists and designers to curate art installations.
• Own Vendor & Partner Relations: Cultivate relationships with and hire vendors, artists, fabricators, craftspeople, designers, and other creative consultants to execute concepts.
