Melissa & Doug

For five years, I have worked as an Industrial Designer in the consumer goods industry with a mission to bring comfort, joy, and convenience to users. I am currently a designer at Melissa & Doug with the responsibility of leading our new Infant/Toddler initiative and developing new product innovation.

Stroller toys

Multi-textured infant toy attaches to strollers, diaper bags, high chairs, car seats, and more to keep the fun close at hand. The Ice Cream Take-Along, PB&J and Bubble Tea toy helps kids develop fine motor and sensory skills. These toys encourage exploratory, skill-building play!

Rollables

Rollables friends are ready for any adventure! They are fun and easy for infants and toddlers to grasp, firm enough to roll, and soft enough to squeeze. These diverse characters encourage sensory and fine motor skills with the variety of shapes and textures for exploratory, skill-building play. Rollables are able to tumble down wooden structures while smiling along the way. Available at Melissa & Doug.

WOODEN WORKSTATION

Toddlers love “working” just like grown-ups do and discovering textures and sounds. This wooden desktop activity board helps babies develop fine motor and shape recognition skills.
