An artist envisioned Disney princesses with careers based on their characters — and they make so much sense

Matthew Burt's favorite Disney princess is Jasmine from "Aladdin." But it was time to give her an upgrade.

The North Carolina-based graphic designer, illustrator, and web designer reimagined Jasmine and other Disney princesses as modern women with careers based on their characters.

"The Disney princesses have grown to be more than just characters in a movie. They have become icons in modern culture and to many people, they are a source of inspiration," Burt told INSIDER.

"I wanted to create something that others might look up to," he continued. "It's important to show the princesses as strong women because of that influential role they have in society. Everyone should have something that inspires them — especially girls who may want to pursue a career in a traditionally male-dominated field."
