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.
