About
I'm currently a senior in Toy Design at Otis College of Art and Design, graduating May 2014. I love creative challenges that allow me to grow and expand my experience as an artist and designer. And I love toys and games! I have interned twice as an undergrad for Mattel Toys, for the Monster High design team and the Mattel Games design team, respectively. My ultimate goal is a creative career in the toy or product industry.
