For about 10 years I worked on the team that designed the majority of the toy and candy packaging for Disney Theme Parks. After working at Disney I had the opportunity to work on several toy and game packages for multiple clients. Some personal highlights include the Superman Man of Steel Quick-Shots, helping out with G.I. Joe Combat Heroes, Marvel Super Hero Squad, and working on Netflix Stretch Armstrong items. My all time favorite might be a SpongeBob SquarePants balloon that ran for several years at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City. Recently my favorite projects would be the Vintage Marvel legends packaging and Monopoly Jr Unicorn Edition for Hasbro Games.
