Children’s play, new and sustainable materials, and the world of art, architecture, and design provide continual inspiration for me as I design play objects. My concepts and products bridge the worlds of art and play and are rooted in the idea that play is a lifelong and life-sustaining activity.
I work on custom design projects for museums and other institutions as well as corporate gifts and limited editions. I am available for consultation and presentations on the many facets of toy design.
The toys and associated educational materials are available for loan to museums and other institutions interested in the value of play and early childhood development.
