Hi, I’m Christine! I’m an aspiring toy inventor and a junior at MIT studying Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Product Development & Design.

I became super interested in the toy industry during my freshman year of college, when I took a class called Toy Product Design. I discovered just how much I love designing for play, and that passion grew even stronger when I got to work at Jazwares (the company behind Squishmallows!) as a Product Development Intern.

Currently, I’m developing a toy that I hope to launch within the next year (let me know if you’d be down to play-test!). This project brings together everything I love about product development: hands-on prototyping, user-testing, and problem-solving, all with the end goal of creating meaningful experiences.

When I’m not working on my next big idea, you’ll probably find me mentoring students at MIT’s Makerspaces, baking something new to share with friends, or cuddling with my cats, Socks (Fatty) and Boots (Little Man). If any part of my story has resonated with you, let’s chat!
