Scholastic

Scholastic is the world’s largest publisher of children’s books

I wrote and edited instructional children’s books for Klutz, an imprint of Scholastic

I collaborated with toy designers and manufacturers to develop arts & crafts kits. This gave me a chance to immerse in product development (from sourcing, safety, sampling, to costing) and material knowledge (from fabric, elastic, paper, to paint). 

Wrote step-by-step sewing instructions. Worked with illustrators to create accompanying art for each step.

Developed mechanics for playing 20+ jumping games, complete with a custom-made stretchy rope!

Researched supporting facts for a LEGO kit. The DIY race car kit was a Toy of the Year award finalist for “Vehicle of the Year”
