I was the lead designer on SIMON AIR. This is an entirely new way to play the classic SIMON game that doesn't require touch. I was responsible for designing the physical product and worked closely with KID Inventor group to develop the gameplay. All our hard work payed off! SIMON AIR was a huge success and earned itself a TOTY nomination and has gained nearly 1M views on Good Mythical Morning.

The Hasbro Gaming team came to me for designing the physical components of their new TWISTER AIR game. The game is primarily driven by an app developed by IDEO, The design direction and 3D CAD I provided helped TWISTER AIR earn a Webbie Award.

I have worked with some of the worlds most exciting brands on licensed games for IP such as STAR WARS, MARVEL, NERF, YO-KAI WATCH, TRANSFORMERS, NINTENDO, and DISNEY.

I worked with MGA to bring their new ARMORSAURS licensed toys to life. We took characters from the Netflix series and visualized them as an exciting new line of action figures.

I helped reimagine the HEX BUG brand at SPIN MASTER. We took what was fun with the original toy bugs and injected creepy crawly life into the brand with new bug designs, graphics, and play features.

I worked with HASBRO to help bring their new Trivial Pursuit game to life in 3D. I developed design CAD and renders that were used to successfully pitch the idea internally at Hasbro and was later used to kick off engineering CAD with the manufacturer.

I was the lead designer on the Fantastic Gymnastics game which caught the attention of the US Olympic gymnastics team.

I wrote and illustrated the Product Design Quick Start Guide which is published and available on Amazon.
