A class full of creatives who love to explore different facets of the entertainment industry. These are storytellers, animators, 3D artists, plush designers, and children’s book illustrators - all with a passion for the toy space.

I’ve spent the last 6 weeks with these students and they’ve become the best part of my day. Their joy for the world of toys and their abilities will give you new life. Getting to know and help them as they embark on their toy journey has been an honor.
