Services

We help turn ideas into fully realized worlds, from design sketches and illustrations to 3D models, prototyping, and branding.

Most of our partners bring us in at the very start of their journey. Share your idea, and we'll dive into trends, sketch it out, and build the story and characters that bring it to life.

Our specialty is toys and story development, but we're always excited to explore new ideas. Got a concept you’re dreaming up?

Whit’s Collaborations + Interests *

  • MerMay Online Art Contest

    MerMay Onine Art Contest

    MerMay, a month-long art celebration in May inspired by mermaids, invites artists worldwide to share their unique interpretations of mermaids daily. Founded by former Disney animator Tom Bancroft, Tom tapped Whitney to produce and host the show along with fellow creative mermaid lover Lauren Barger. Since their introduction, the community has exploded! Whit and Lauren have serialized the essence of not just designing mermaids, but breaking into the world of creativity by going live on Instagram with legendary animators, kid lit authors, toy designers, and more. They’ve also partnered with numerous creative companies to offer the tools aspiring and passionate creatives need to succeed in the world of commercial art.

  • Community

    Whitney was an early adopter and one of the first artists to appear on Instagram. She’s grown a completely organic fan base by posting original artwork and drawing tutorials that encourage artists to pursue their passions and believe in themselves.

  • Speaking Events

    Demystifying and democratizing the world of toys has been a passion of Whitney’s. She’s given talks with Disney+, Bark Box, B&H, Wacom, and San Diego Comic-Con.

  • Comic-Con

    Whitney always looks forward to creative conventions and gatherings like San Diego ComicCon, Lightbox Expo and Adobe Max.

  • Education

    Whitney has been a guest lecturer at Otis College of Art + Design, FIT in NYC and a teacher on www.ProjectCity.tv.

  • Gallery Work

    The Disney Wonderground Gallery storefront! Other galleries she’s enjoyed working with are Gallery Nucleus, Gallery 1988, QPOP, The Meltdown and the Himalaya Museum in Shanghai.

  • PFPs + Digital Collectibles

    Whitney was invited by R-Space on Xiaohongshu to create an exclusive PFP project. She collaborated with Anileague to develop a campaign that reached over 70 million users and multiple celebrity influencers. The message was: “Even though some days you may feel teeny tiny, you’re strong, you’re tough, and you can do anything!” The project, called Fairy Spell, featured the tagline “We See You” and became the highest-grossing women-led PFP in China—achieving this milestone without ever using cryptocurrency.

  • Metaverse

    In collaboration with IMVU, Whitney created a virtual underwater studio space called ART-LANTIS, where creative friends could gather, chat, take selfies, and pose on a model stand while others sketched them. The event featured a live Q&A with Whitney, attracting thousands of virtual attendees, and ART-LANTIS remains a fun spot for like-minded friends to connect and hang out on the IMVU metaverse platform.
