About

As an award winning Product Management Director and founding member of Factory Entertainment, I and the hard working team of dedicated professionals at the company have developed, produced, and brought to market hundreds of wonderful collectibles and toys across a wide spectrum of entertainment licenses over the last decade and a half. Since starting this company, the collective vision of our small (but mighty) team has been to bring fun and joy to pop-culture enthusiasts everywhere. Through our passion, expertise, and experience, it’s been an honor to achieve that and many other goals time and time again.
