Plush Manufacturing

Having done overseas manufacturing for over five years, I expanded my list of products to include plush toys in 2024. Beginning with a technical sheet and references, I started prototyping with a selected vendor.

After several months of adjustments and certification testing, the plush was approved for full production. This was a great introduction to textile toy design with multi-part accessories for me. Since this design, I’ve led two more plush projects.

enamel pin

In 2018, I started manufacturing enamel pins with overseas factories through Alibaba. In the last 6 years, I’ve produced over 70 designs with a variety of specialty techniques such as stained glass, spinner, slider, internal cuts, screen printing, and more.

Each pin comes with a custom backing card that’s designed for the pin’s theme, as well as a templatized back design for brand consistency.
