Script Writing + Copy Writing + Game Play Planning+Character Creation
One of my favorite parts of Toy Design is creating content. During my career I have scripted and planned content for feature plush, educational electronics, branded apps and packaging. I am often called on to pitch new character names, bios and copy and love using alliteration and puns throughout my work.
