Great news today!

The London based company, Made in Me, has invited me to design some toys with them.  They are a fantastic group of people who focus on creating "interactive experiences that inspire kids to play and learn."   I've already begun working on some wooden toys for them. (Click here to see sneak peek photos on their blog.)  I'll definitely let everyone know when they become available.  In the meantime you can check out their interactive world, Land of Me, (see below) which is amazing.  You can download the first chapter for free if you want to try it out.

    I can tell you, no one is more excited about this than we are. We're all massive Joel fans and can't wait to show everyone what happens when you mix a bit of Joel magic with The Land of Me and some wood... :)
