I love working from start to finish on products. This includes brainstorming with my team and clients, staying on top of new brand style guides and trends, sketching/concept creation, creating tech packs, making artwork, communicating with manufacturers and licensors, and wrapping everything up lovingly in fun packaging at the end. I’d like to share some of my favorite projects with you.

The cover fits over standard baby carriers and the plush headwear attaches securely but comfortably under a child's chin. Each plush costume is made based on similar concept art like this.

I worked with the licensor to create a new, cute style of embroidery artwork for the baby carrier cover line. These have bigger eyes and stay away from harsh colors, making them softer than the available style guide artwork.

This is an example of an officially licensed vacuform mask. These are easily achieved by providing artwork, pantone colors, and size specs to the manufacturer. I also ensure they have foam padding on the inside for comfort.
