I’ve lived on the South Side of Chicago all my life and I currently live in Oak Lawn, IL with my husband and 3 boys. I graduated Summa Cum Laude earning my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education degree, alongside a Middle School Mathematics Endorsement, just 1 month before our first son was born in 2014.

I became a SAHM at that point and started my own small business. I missed the classroom but was blessed to have the opportunity to educate and help our littles grow. It was a bonus to be able to play with toys all day again, like when I was younger. Some of my favorites included: Polly Pocket, Othello, Monopoly, and Play-Doh.

It was shortly after our second son was born that I had my first idea that lead me to the toy industry. Innovating correlates to math in a way, in my mind, so I love that. Also, I have the background in child psychology so that leads me to connect to toy and game ideas from an educational/functional level, so that’s cool. Plus, who doesn’t love toys and games?!?

I’ve organically developed many ideas and full prototypes with commercials (60 sec. or less) to showcase the amazingness of each opportunity. My ideas are products of problem solving and companies’ needs... so bring on the wish lists, I hope I can help you!

Cheers,

Krysten
