To be a graphic designer means to be a problem solver. To be able to imagine all possibilities, the possible and the impossible. Everyone says they want a “Out of the Box thinker” but that’s just a in the box way of saying it. That's where I come in. I think “Outside The Spectrum” I don’t allow myself to be tethered to the box like an astronaut. I allow my mind to float freely with my ideas because that is where the truly great ideas are found.

I concepted, designed, and turned over products and acted as Product Art Director when needed. I created and helped develop about 400-600 products per a year.I have concepted licensed and non-licensed products for boys, girls, outdoor, baby, apps games, and furniture. I worked closely with the Art Director in collaboration for graphic themes and directions on all product designs. Over the years I have handled Art Director responsibilities to ensure all deadlines were met and managed an in-house team of 3-4 designers and designers in China for a continuous work flow. I Oversaw and delegated the workload in preparation for toy fairs, sales requests, and product turnovers to production. What was unique about working for Playhut was, even though I was on the product team a lot of what I did was similar to packaging. I created die lines, applied graphics to the panels, made sure the colors were in line with the brand,and the Engineer drawings required a high attention to detail.
