Poppy Playtime

Creative / Narrative Director

​

Poppy Playtime is one of my favorite projects I've worked on.  When I came on things were still pretty rough around the edges and the studio had just begun hiring more senior staff.  As Creative / Narrative Director I spent a lot of time in the writers' room.  The previous Head Writer had a loose outline of narrative beats and our intensely talented art team had some brilliant character concepts to work with so this became an exercise in carving until the angel in the marble was free, so to speak.
