	HOWTOONS KITS
2016-2018


In 2016, Howtoons introduced a monthly subscription service. Each Howtoons project kit is centered around a diverse STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) subject and encompasses all the necessary tools and materials for constructing the project. Within each kit, you'll also find a pocket-sized book featuring a comic-style narrative linked to the project, step-by-step instructions for completion, and an exploration of associated STEAM concepts—all presented in the distinct Howtoons visual storytelling style. As a special bonus, there's an interview with a professional from the STEAM field, engaging games, and extra DIY projects related to the theme. Our ultimate goal is to ignite children's passion for learning through enjoyable and imaginative experiences.

	Ukulele kit: 


Our most popular kit is a
great way to teach kids the science of sound. What initially began as a basic rubber band guitar has evolved into a fully operational cardboard ukulele.

Made using origami and simple
electronics, the Gami-bot kit is a fun way to teach kids about circuits and
robotics.

	Toolbox Kit:&#38;nbsp;


We
wanted to push the boundaries of what was included in our kits, and each
Toolbox Kit includes a hammer. This kit focuses on the importance of teaching
how to use tools, so they can build their future.

	HOWTOONS&#38;nbsp;
2008-2016Howtoons History
In 2004, the inception of Howtoons was spearheaded by Saul Griffith, Joost Bonsen, and the artist Nick Dragotta. Their mission was to revolutionize instructional materials tailored for children. Four years later, I became part of the team, introducing the element of playful toy design to our projects. Our shared objective was to craft compelling content featuring interactive DIY projects, empowering kids to construct and learn. 
Throughout the years, Howtoons been published
through Harper Collins, Make magazine, Image Comics, and Scholastic
Books. 
Below are examples of our comics and projects.

	NEW BALANCE
2003-2006 Kids Team Designer


At New Balance, I enjoyed the design challenge of the quarterly demands.
A shoe is a shoe, so I delved into how I could reinvent it and make it interesting.
What I discovered along the way is that I wasn’t just good at designing playful
and fun shoes, but I had become skilled at initiating new project ideas and
directions that went beyond just the shoe. 


Below are a number of shoe projects I worked on.


Life style 480: 


I worked with a comic book artist to add a graphic art
element to the Lifestyle limited edition 480 series.&#60;img width="2000" height="1152" width_o="2000" height_o="1152" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a7da8164de494f1af6f4436b6121b2d6ca3b306fa3ab7b173eb63bc59332d781/nb480.jpg" data-mid="16424498" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a7da8164de494f1af6f4436b6121b2d6ca3b306fa3ab7b173eb63bc59332d781/nb480.jpg" /&#62;
 

In the gym collection:&#38;nbsp;Recognizing that kids’
cross-training needs differ from adults, I initiated a research project where I
interviewed parents, kids, and physical fitness educators. This informed the
design challenge to meet the needs of children K–8 for gym class while adopting
the new PE philosophy of fun and fitness for life.New Balance KX626: These shoes were designed
for K–2nd grade, where PE classes concentrate on teaching fundamental skills
like running, kicking, and side-to-side movements. Design features
incorporated everything from a kickball oversized toe wrap to a 360-degree fit
system that helped keep the shoe on, while kids still learned how to tie their
shoes.

	New Balance KX727:&#38;nbsp;Designed for 3rd–8th
graders, where PE classes focus on physical activity through team sports, I
wanted these shoes to have the cushioning of a running sneaker, the traction
and upper height protection of a basketball shoe, combined with the mobility of
a soccer shoe. Because PE
activities last two weeks, I designed a shoe that would work for multiple
sports.

	Alternative Closures:


In the realm of non-lace
shoes, I became mildly obsessed with utilizing the N-logo as an alternative
closure.

Girls Initiative: 


A buyer once said that
“girls like pink shoes until they like purple.” Rather than take his word, I
initiated a girls’ research project in order to understand exactly what girls
wanted. I created survey questions and design kits with cameras for girls who
were 8–12 years old to encourage them to photograph their rooms and personal
spaces. I also interviewed the parents. With the research findings, I created
personas that would later help inform and inspire the design and color
direction.

2006-2008 My Little Pony


At Hasbro, I worked with
known artists to create specialized convention ponies as well as role play toys
that had exhibited unique personalities and play patterns. 
25th Anniversary Silver Pony: 


For this unique project, I worked with a sculptor
and silversmith to create one 18” sterling silver pony and twenty-five 5”
silver ponies to celebrate 25 years of My Little Pony.&#60;img width="2307" height="2226" width_o="2307" height_o="2226" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4610ba2240df636110f602fa7a9e6e15ae7b4431a7ab93b42416436691d47eeb/mlpsilverb.jpg" data-mid="15918537" border="0" data-scale="70" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4610ba2240df636110f602fa7a9e6e15ae7b4431a7ab93b42416436691d47eeb/mlpsilverb.jpg" /&#62;


	Convention Collector Ponies: 


Collector’s ponies for conventions and special events.

	Made from the Heart: 


Focusing on the younger
age of true plush devotion, this line took the essence of pony and gave it a
more loveable and emotional feel by connecting it to a homemade look.

collectability, I explored recreating a plush version of the stylistic
Ponyville line, with each pony representing its unique personality through
style and material choices.

	Role Play: 


I worked
independently and with freelancers to build the product line aesthetic. Then I worked
with engineering to formulate UI play patterns, and I even directed the voice
talent.

	25th Ponies For 25 Years: 


To help
celebrate the 25th anniversary of My Little Pony, I Initiated and
conceptualized a program. A total of 25 artists, fashion designers, and celebrities
were asked to design a one-of-a-kind 18” pony. Ponies were auctioned off and
proceeds were given to “Give Kids The World” charity.

	OTHERLAB
2009-2013


Otherlab
is an independent R&#38;amp;D lab where I was an in-house designer helping start-up
companies visually present their ideas. 


	323D (2009)


The
323D program was designed to take 3D models and slice them into 2D. We created
the cardboard animal kits to demonstrate the program. I designed the packaging
and instructions to help showcase the product and software. I was also
responsible for building and designing the website. The program was sold online
and through a variety of Bay Area stores. The slicing software was eventually
sold to Autodesk 123D.
