A North Carolina-based graphic designer is giving our beloved Disney monarchs a much-needed ‘career woman’ makeover.
From Snow White to Moana, Matt Burt has reimagined Disney Princesses as successful working women, whose careers continue to make a difference in the world.
According to Burt, the purpose of these artworks was to give kids and kids-at-heart a more modern set of role models to look up to.
“I wanted to create these [artworks] to inspire others in hopes that they can find a career that they love and a career that makes a difference,” Burt tells Bored Panda.
In the series of artworks below, Burt recreates the princesses in 21st-century roles. Be it Environmental Activists or UN Ambassadors, here are your modernized princesses:
