100 Years of Magic
Although I was not on the team assigned to work on this program, because of the huge number of toys, we all pitched in to help. I helped with: Bambi, Thumper, White Rabbit, Lady, Tramp, Baloo, King Louie, Bernard, Miss Bianca, Sebastian, Flounder, Abu, Pumbaa, Buzz Lightyear and Kuzco.

Monster's Inc.
The process of designing toys at Simon Marketing involved all of the Industrial Designers and so it is generally difficult to claim any specific toy as "yours".  I did spend more time on Sully and Yeti than I did on any other toy in this program.

Diva Starz
Diva Starz were a lot of work because we had to get the hair and the eyes just right.  I spent most of my time on the watch and the comb.

Barbie
Barbie was a challenge because we wanted to make the figures half an inch taller than in previous years for about the same cost.  Our team worked on McFuntime Barbie, Doctor Barbie, Nutcracker Ken, and Picture Pockets Barbie.

 

Atlantis
During my time at Simon, this was my favorite program and can call the Leviathan and Ulysses "mine" more than any other toy I worked on.  Our overseas branch had declared these two items too expensive to produce until I suggested a cheaper and more efficient internal mechanism.

102 Dalmatians

With 102 toys it would have been impossible for any one person to work on any specific toy from start to finish.  As a team, the Industrial designers at Simon worked on the 57 toys in the following groups:  Train Dogs, Fuzzy Toys, Dogs on the Go, Dogs to Shake Up, Dogs in Town, Dogs with Lights, Dogs Doing Tricks, and Dogs on Ice.

Disney's Video Showcase Collection

This is the first program I was on from start to finish and I primarily worked on the characters in the Winnie the Pooh Seasons of Giving collection.
