Toy Designer and Sculptor
From Passion to Profession
Based in the historic city of Brasov, nestled in the heart of Transylvania, Romania, I've dedicated over two decades to bringing unique characters and visions to life. Since 1999, I've been working as a designer and 3D artist, with the last decade focused exclusively on the art toy and designer collectibles world.
Craftsmanship Meets Production
My studio blends old-world craftsmanship with modern production techniques. Each piece begins as a concept that's carefully sculpted and refined before moving to production. For smaller, more exclusive runs (10-30 pieces), I handle production in-house, ensuring meticulous attention to detail. For larger editions of 50+ pieces, I partner with a trusted factory in Hong Kong that maintains the quality standards I've established over years of collaboration.
Services Offered
My work spans two complementary areas:
For Collectors: I create limited edition designer toys and art collectibles that blend artistic expression with cultural influences. I also take on select commissions for one-of-a-kind pieces.
For Artists & Companies: I offer design, sculpting, and production services to help bring your characters and concepts to life. From initial concept refinement through prototyping to final production, I guide your project every step of the way.
Experience & Expertise
Having navigated the complexities of both small-batch and larger-scale production for a decade, I've developed a comprehensive understanding of the designer toy industry. My background spans traditional sculpting techniques, digital design, manufacturing processes, and the business aspects of limited-edition collectibles.
Philosophy
I believe that designer toys exist at the intersection of art, culture, and craftsmanship. Each piece I create or help produce represents countless hours of dedication, problem-solving, and attention to detail. Whether I'm creating my own artistic vision or helping another artist realize theirs, I approach each project with the same level of care and commitment to quality.
Working Together
Whether you're a collector interested in my latest release, an artist looking to transform your 2D designs into 3D collectibles, or a company seeking to create branded art pieces, I welcome your inquiry. My approach is collaborative, transparent, and focused on creating exceptional results that exceed expectations.
