  • Mattel Toys
    Designer
    Mattel Toys 1995 - 1998
    El Segundo, California, Us
    Mattel Toys created a huge opportunity for me to learn licensing from the best of the best. When I joined Mattel in 95' as a designer I joined the Mattel/ Disney group. This group spear headed the creative for all of the disney movies as Mattel was the master Licensor for Disney & Disney had just acquired a hot little animation studio called Pixar. My position was creating soft good lines & some hard good lines for A Bugs Life, Toy Story, Tarzan, Mulan, Hercules, The Lion King, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, & One Hundred and One Dalmations. This experience allowed me to really get into the characters & properties thru reading the scripts looking for key moments in the films to turn into million dollar toy lines. While working hand in hand with the animators & with the style guides to keep the products on model , I would create concepts that would create the connectedness that the filmmakers were looking for. Presenting all my toy concepts to the consumer product groups @ Disney along the way right up to John Lasseter of Pixar himself. Everyone was invested in making something special & magical for kids. Other licenses I created for included Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, & Dr Seuss.
  • Tyco Toys
    Designer
    Tyco Toys 1991 - 1995
    I began my career @ Tyco Toys with an internship my Junior year of college working for some powerful women (and men). I developed my skill set of organization, management , and a general sense of how toy business worked. I traveled 3 consecutive years to assist @ toy fair in NYC in the set up of the displays, participating in maintenance of the products for the marketing team & getting a sense for the type of business done at these shows. Great experience to participate in a larger Toy companies show and seeing how all the components come together for it to be a success. Tyco toys was at the time the 3rd largest toy company next to Mattel and Hasbro. It had a very inventor driven based company where i was able to work on existing lines (kitty kitty kittens ), learn how to mine equity in those lines with line extensions , as well as Invent new ones properties for the company to own. This is also where i had my first dabble in licensing with the partnership with Warner Bros. Looney Tunes property. Great experience fresh out of school.
