Broke Piggy's first production toys. As project manager, I oversaw the development process from start to finish, working with
Mana Studios to produce 2" resin collectibles designed by Scott Tolleson, Jeremy Madl and Lee Gajda. The series debuted at Designer Con 2015 and was nominated for a 2016 Designer Toy Award.
Since 2017, Broke Piggy has partnered with
Kidrobot to curate artists for and produce their annual
Shard Show. This DesignerCon event taps independent artists to customize Kidrobot's iconic Dunny toy platform. Artists worked with include Luke Chueh, Jermaine Rogers, Junko Mizuno, Instinctoy, Andrew Bell, Jeremiah Ketner, Camilla d'Errico, Uamou, Mark Nagata and James Groman.

Kenneth Tang's detailed kaiju monsters were routinely selling out overseas, making them difficult to attain for US collectors. I signed Tang for his first US release at Designer Con in 2016, where his
Pineapple Monster sofubi sold out within a few hours.
