CONSULTING SERVICES: MANUFACTURING & PRODUCTION

Designer Toy Production Expertise

With over two decades of experience in the designer toy industry and a decade managing both small-batch and large-scale production runs, I offer specialized consulting services to help artists, designers, and companies navigate the complex world of art toy manufacturing.

Based in Romania but working with international production partners, I bring a unique perspective that bridges artisanal craftsmanship with commercial manufacturing knowledge.

Why Work With Us?

  • Industry-Specific Knowledge: Unlike general manufacturing consultants, I specialize exclusively in designer toys, art collectibles, and figurines
  • End-to-End Experience: From concept and sculpting through to packaging and distribution
  • Dual Perspective: I understand both the artistic vision and the technical production requirements
  • Established Relationships: Direct connections with trusted manufacturing partners in Hong Kong
  • Proven Track Record: 10+ years producing both small runs (10-30 units) and larger productions (500+ units)
