Tinker Bell Presentation Board - This was a presentation board for a Disney Tinker Bell kids' craft set sold through Elmer's arts & crafts line. I have a lot of experience working within the boundaries of existing style guides, and adapting them when they're pushed into unfamiliar territory.
Tinker Bell Blister - Another Elmer's/Tinker Bell set, this one for making your own posters.
Hannah Montana Stationery Set - 3-D rendering of packaging & product I designed using the existing Hannah Montana style guide.
RenArt - Blendy Pens - The new owners of this product line thought the old packaging needed a major overhaul. You'll see this new look adapted to other lines of theirs in the next couple samples.
RenArt - Color Splitz - Another RenArt product and packaging to keep with the Blendy Pens redesign (previous sample) while still clearly standing apart as a different product.
RenArt - Blasta - Another product in the RenArt line.
The Incredibles - Style guide art I adapted to packaging for a toy pinball game.
E! Box Set - E! Entertainment briefly flirted with the notion of developing a line of roleplay toys. There was no existing style guide from which to work, so I developed one.
M&M's Ice Cream Maker - Using existing M&M's style guide. I also designed the product itself, handled the photo shoot and added the M&M's in Photoshop afterwards.
M&M's Vending Bank - Using existing M&M's style guide. I also designed the product itself and handled the photo shoot.
McKids Playset - McDonald's came out with its own toy line under the brand "McKids". They didn't have much of a style guide developed, so I helped them put one together and figured out how to utilize it in their packaging. I didn't develop the restaurant design, but I designed the car.
Rescue Heroes Backpack Set - Working within the existing style guides, I came up with a line of roleplay toys based on the major characters. I designed the product based on the action figures that had already been created.
Rescue Heroes Utility Sets - These were a couple of the smaller sets I put together, including product design adapted from the action figures.
Disney Adventurers - This was a Peter Pan/Captain Hook pirate ship playset sold through The Disney Store. I designed the packaging using their style guide and headed up the product photo shoot.
WTG Card - Our team developed a line of girls' glam toys called Who's That Girl? In the next few samples, you'll see how I adapted the look across several packaging types.
WTG Blister Card - For a play cell phone and case.
WTG Platform Blister - For a play makeup/glamour set. I engineered the custom dieline and designed most of the product.
WTG Window Box - For a play guitar with sound effects. I engineered the dieline and helped design the product.
WTG Band - A paper band to wrap around a glamour case.
Lock 'Ems - Custom designed padlocks for kids to use for their lockers at school, based on several popular kids' lines at the time.
