Alumni Spotlight

Harry Moore, Class of 1993 http://www.harrymooredesign.com/

As a child, I saved all of the packaging and cards backs from toys I got; it’s been a blast working on the same things as an adult.

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 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 packaging and Monopoly Jr Unicorn Edition for Games. Harry Moore, ‘93 Alum - Harry
