Nelson London Bates – Founder – Imagineer Entrepreneur

During my tenure with the Walt Disney Company, I had the privilege of working alongside the innovative minds of the Disney Imagineers.

Witnessing their ability to dream enchanting ideas AND bring them to life, was inspiring.

That’s when I knew it was what I aspired to do—with a unique twist.

I felt destined to not only dream, but to own the rights to those dreams.

So I ventured out on my own, embarking on a journey of building everything from the ground up.

A journey I’ve cherished every step of the way, and continues to this day.

My current dream project is the The Barefoot Conservatory, a nature based wellness playground for the whole family.

Before founding The Barefoot Conservatory, I built Miss Higley’s Art — a charming children’s art business, into a resplendent success by uniquely adding each child’s name to each framed artwork.

.
Before building my art business, I owned The Bonsaiii Company.  Which specialized in world-class, gallery-quality bonsai.

It was during this time that my fascination with plants, soils, and natural fertilizers blossomed.

Prior to The Bonsaiii Company, I served as the lead Web Master for Walt Disney World, pioneering the digital era at the most magical place on Earth.

Renowned for my creative marketing strategies, I consider myself an Imagineer Entrepreneur. Enthralled by beautiful design and elegant marketing, I hold a degree in Marketing from Kansas State University.

On most days, I practice healthy entrepreneurship.

Which means I start each day connecting with myself ensuring I’m caring for body and mind in a healthy way.  Once that’s done—then I start work.

I live in sunny Orlando, Florida with my happy family.
