About
Previously I worked many years in indusial construction before attending Frank Phillips Collage in Borger Texas. After graduating with my Associates degree I moved to Los Angles to attend Otis Collage of art and design.
At Otis you began your carrier the moment you enter your Major. I entered the toy department a lifelong dream of mine to become a Toy designer. The staff is the best in the business. Every project at Otis was given industry critiques, and real world limitations and fesability. You are trained to think of issues of safty, cost, material, marketability and more.
Otis offers many different opportunity’s with toy companies; I worked with Disney/ Pixar consumer products in sponsorship for products in existing and upcoming properties. Other opportunities include customize a Tron Light Cycle art show with Spin Master, and a Memorial for the nation of Palau.
My Goals;
I would like to be part of a creative team with whom I will be able to lend my unique ideas and talents to create some truly fun and innovative products! -
