At Leapfrog I manage our Emeryville Industrial design team and work with our talented Hong Kong teams to produce our learning lines of infant and preschool toys for Leapfrog. Outside of our design team I also work with outside inventors, independent designers, illustrators, and several specialized design firms.

I work as an Industrial Designer with local start up companies in the Bay Area and beyond to help develop product ideas and bring them to life. I also work on occasional concept art projects in the movie and gaming industry.

I worked with a few V.P.'s at Fox Network on a series of 50 foot robots to be shown during MLB baseball games as a promotional project. I created 4 different players that were eventually built and animated. The project was killed never made it to prime time, but it was a blast to work on it!

At Vtech I was the Design Manager for the Preschool line of toys. I worked with our global design team to re-launch and innovate the 2003 and 2004 lines of toys. The lines I worked on included “Ready, Set School”, “Learning Adventures”, and the “Play Smart” line. The office closed it's doors in 2003 due to overall company performance and the design is now based back in Hong Kong. Several toys I developed are still on shelf today and are staples of the Vtech toy line.

While being a Sr. Designer for Fisher-Price I worked on various projects including Magna-Doodle, View-Master, Kitchen Centers, Briar-berry Bears, and Spring & Sports concepts. My involvement with these projects included everything from brainstorming, hardware and soft goods design, prototyping, content creation, script development, audio talent auditions / recordings.
