Imagineer is a noun that refers to a person skilled in bringing creative ideas into practical form.

A fairly recent addition to the English language, imagineer came to exist around the middle of the twentieth century. It takes its root from the word imagine and follows the pattern of ‘engineer.’ You could think of an imagineer as an engineer of the imagination.

As a child, all of my heroes were imagineers. I’d always admired people who could craft breathtaking ideas and bring them to life.
