My passion is problem solving, and delivering professional, powerful and meaningful experiences through art and design.

At Topps I started as a collectible designer and helped launch their the Topps Star Wars Card Trader app

With the success of the Star Wars app, the division expanded and I began a digital journey helping the divisions growth and success. As the design lead I not only managed the design staff, but I was also involved in strategic growth for the divison and helping craft the innovations of the user experience.

With the Disney Collect! app we took everything we learned with the previous, apps and made an innovative and compelling user experience that includes animated cards, crafting, upgrading collectibles, a daily arcade, user missions, and group events

I designed and art directed for the Topps Digital San Diego Comic Con initiatives more than a few times. This included poster and card giveaways, code redemptions, a vintage card Photo Booth, and cross promotions.

The launch of the Star Wars app was so popular Topps decided to make a physical collection to sell it retail. I worked with the physical team to create the product - translating all of our card designs from digital to physical.

Along with the Disney team, we developed “Digi-Con“, a virtual convention for our digital users. This included exclusive products to collect in app, daily coin giveaways, and special events like interviewing Kermit the Frog! All live streamed on Twitch.

The Disney team developed in app watch parties where users could watch a movie and also collect special cards and coins.

One of the most fulfilling things I was able to do at TOPPS was work on their original IP. This included working on a 6 foot tall Mars Attacks! martian for Halloween, GPK products, and pitching and art directing a Dinosaurs Attack! action figure

Some of the brands I’ve had the privilege of working with over the years.

Video Sketch Cards

I developed collectibles that would play original sketches as time lapse videos.

Programatic VFX

I was part of the team that developed a customizable, programatic visual effects. These could be applied to any collectible card, any one of our apps. We looked to mirror existing effects collectors loved, while also inventing a digital only particle system that could overlay images we wanted to spawn on the card. In Stich’s case, ice cream cones and flowers!

Godzilla NFTS

I was creative lead on an Godzilla NFT product line for Toho. We created “Toppsicles”. These were 3D objects that were skinned with my original illustrations to look like the monsters in the movie series. While NFTS might be dead(ish)…I think these continue to be some the most coolest things we developed for that space.

Star Wars Card Trader original Illustrations and Designs

This is a microscopic selection of the work done on SWCT. It was ( and continues to be ) a never ending store front, where constant innovation with new designs are rolled out on a 24/7 365 basis. I must have designed thousands of unique card sets over the years.

Disney Collect! Designs and Animations

Another selection of design work done for Disney Collect! Not only was I art director but I also designed hundreds of unique card sets. I also started incorporating looped animations some cards
