Bigsby was created for the Interactive Story Buddy line. A Plush and Book series that incorporated Voice User Interface Design that would respond the the child or parent as they read each story. We worked on play patterns and story development to make the interaction feel seamless and natural.

As content and design lead on this project, I directed all work related to story, plush design, voice recognition, app development, and talent both voice and music.

The line grew to 10 individual Plush Character and Book Series. While most were original content created in house, we developed licensing titles and series with brands like Disney and Warner Bros.

One of the most successful Launches in the Kids Retail group to date launched multiples products and a Stop Motion Holiday Special.

Created this brand extension for Hallmark based on the successful itty bitty’s line, which had seen decline. Our goal was to shift from collector’s to kid’s and we did just that, currently on book 38.

Each book comes with 1-2 plush depending on the story. Some were original retelling’s of children’s classics while others were based on well known licensed properties.

Launching at SDCC with the Adam West Batman 66, Squeely’s was the first vinyl series to move into production at Hallmark.

Created by myself and Ramon Olivera we wanted to make a vinyl collection that felt as if it had already existed, the references (the Hot Rod art of Ed Roth and Stanley Mouse) are clear and the material used was fantastically soft Roto-Cast Vinyl. Meant to look good but feel cheap (in a good way ;)

Series 1 was with Warner Bros. and DC Comics. Series 2 will be a Marvel run. We have future series with the NFL, NHL and MLB as well as favorites like Masters of the Universe, Start Wars and more chambered and ready to go.

Getting the chance to design books is great, I really love it. They’re such blank slates at the beginning and rarely ends where you started.

This is a good example of Working with licensing and how strangely limiting at times resource wise it can be. Usable images for books can be hard to come by. So texture and type often make a big play.

Toro took a few years to come to life, but finally this past year I got to make him real with the help of the fantastic Luke Flowers.

I created and wrote this story Inspired by the classic Eddie Arnold song Cattle Call and with the help of Bill Grey set it to verse to give it a great sing along quality it needed.

I really try to make the content I create memorable beyond just one layer. Bringing in a musical base and having the call back of the Yodel really helps get children involved and excited to read.

Being able to spend that time together reading and interacting is so important and so much fun.

Willy was a fun one and turned out far differently than he started.

I was asked to create a book and plush set, centered around a child’s night, night activities. I wrote draft one about a very misunderstood sea creature which was deemed to dark, but an hour later I had Willy. Who was only made better when Josh Holtsclaw jumped on board and made him visually real.

Willy’s story was set to music, a theatrical audio version was made and his plush became a bath-mit allowing you to sing and scrub away an active, dirty day.
