Sticky Feet Polly Pocket
by Mattel
"What if you could launch Polly Pocket across the room like a rubber band?"
This was the thought that ran through my head and eventually launched Sticky Feet Polly, the unique adaptation to the classic tiny doll that allows her to stand on her own.
The concept involves Polly's feet being made of a silicone like material, which sticks repeatedly to specially formulated paper.
Polly Pocket Tropical Party Yacht
by Mattel
Ready for the best day ever? With Polly's Tropical Party Yacht, you can cruise the waves, catch some rays and play all day!
The party comes alive when you zoom Polly's jet ski out of the yacht and activate her terrific twirling feature! Polly will lift into the air and do a fantastic flip!
Her yacht opens out into an amazing array of play space, with lots of accessories and storage too!
This is one of my favorite ideas I have ever worked on, the entire project was a blast from start to finish. I also really enjoyed collaborating with another designer as we worked together to figure out the intricacies of all the mechanics. This whole project made my building hands very happy
Uno Tippo
by Mattel
"What if there was more than one discard pile? What if it was unbalanced, like a set of scales?"
And bingo, Uno Tippo was created!
This was my first toy that went to market. I built the original white model out of plastic and foam-core to prove out the idea and dial in the physics. Once the model was completed, we play tested the game to make sure it was still the same fun you get with UNO, but with a new dynamic feature. It worked better than expected, and consistently provided some great moments of anticipation!
Seeing my idea on shelf for the first time is a feeling I will never forget. It drives me to keep exploring and creating fresh modes of play that I can share with everyone!
