Creative Director / IP Builder / Games & Product

Seven years at Hasbro shipping toys and games, then the garage: an animated series its fans funded, two founder brands on shelves from Walmart to the local game store, and creator partnerships with IShowSpeed and Jynxzi. I design the products and packaging, art direct the brands around them, and work directly with the manufacturers. I also keep an eye on the numbers, because none of it counts until it ships.

Uptime

—

Creative director, IP builder, and product designer. I’ve shipped inside a Fortune 500 and out of a garage. The tools change more than the job does.

Hasbro taught me how to ship at global scale. Startups taught me how to ship with no money and no permission. Creators taught me that the community is the product. Most of what’s here I originated, all of it I art directed, and I’ve been lucky to see it through to revenue with good people, inside companies and on my own.

Punk rules still apply: make the thing, put it in front of people, keep what works, let go of what doesn’t.
