Commercial Brands

As a Creative Director in mass-market children's publishing, I developed and directed products featuring some of the world's most recognized licensed brands, including Disney®, Disney • Pixar Cars®, Star Wars®, Sesame Street®, Barbie®, Eric Carle®, and more. Working within established brand guidelines, I collaborated with creative teams to translate beloved characters and stories into engaging, innovative book formats and products. My role combined concept development, illustration and design direction, and production oversight, ensuring each product met licensing standards while delivering imaginative, age-appropriate experiences for young readers. The following examples highlight products I designed or directed throughout my publishing career.
