Grand Ole Opry Collection:
I designed a number of wall art items for the licensed Grand Ole Opry© collection as part of my work for Crystal Art Gallery. Working with a combination of their images as well as graphics and illustrations I created for the license, I designed these pieces with a sense of nostalgia and musical appeal, in line with the brand direction of Grand Ole Opry©, which is the longest running radio broadcast in US history.
Grand Ole Opry Pennant - designed the build as well as the print
Grand Ole Opry On Air Sign - designed the print based on an on air sign from images of the old radio studio
Grand Ole Opry Guitar Wall Art - designed the build
Fashion Plate Princesses:
This collection subtly nods to each Disney® Princess with detailing taken from their crowns and stories - Snow White’s ring features a small sculpted apple while Sleeping Beauty’s tiara is replicated in the side gallery. Responsible for: product development, concept and art direction, proofing comments, managing the licensing approvals process. Below you can see my initial concept mock-up, the final advertisements, and some of the art direction process for these pieces.

Cute Couture Pendants:
This line brings collectible toys to life as wearable pendants with articulated movement and a stylized cartoonish look, capturing the maternal instincts of the target market segment. The ‘Playful Pup’ pendant line was one of the company’s top sellers for several years. Building on the success of the various cute couture pendants, we tried the template with Disney® and Peanuts®. The Mickey Mouse and Snoopy pendants also included Collector Cards and branded packaging, which I designed using Style Guide artwork from the respective brands. Responsible for: initial concept and design brief, art direction, line expansion, licensing management, and following the products throughout their life cycle.

Hinged Bracelets:
The licensed collectibles customer and the pet parent share the desire to “show and tell.” These bracelets appeal to this with their beautiful sculpts and detailing. Their construction allows space for an engraved message inside the bracelet as well as on the “collar” or necklace area, but is still hollowed out for a less expensive construction.
