greeting card and decorative designer

I was hired as a licensed character illustrator and packaging designer, creating greeting cards and seasonal boxed sets for major entertainment brands during your 10‑year collaboration with Paper Magic Group.

Your Key Contributions
Designed the full Ren & Stimpy Valentine’s line — including two boxed sets and all interior cards — with no style guide, working only from a handful of reference images.

Delivered the entire first project within 24 hours, proving your ability to interpret a brand’s voice, capture character likeness, and produce production‑ready artwork under extreme deadlines.

Created original card concepts, poses, and humor that felt authentic to each franchise while still fitting the greeting‑card format.

Expanded into long‑term licensed work for:

Disney (Mickey & Minnie, Donald Duck, Pluto, Snow White, Evil Queen)

Warner Bros.

Nickelodeon

Illustrated and designed packaging, including:

Box fronts and backs

Card inserts

Die‑cut elements

Seasonal and holiday themes

Adapted multiple character styles — from classic Disney to edgy Nickelodeon — while maintaining brand accuracy and emotional appeal.

Collaborated with product development teams to ensure artwork fit manufacturing specs, printing limitations, and retail display requirements.

Helped shape Paper Magic’s seasonal product lines, contributing to Valentine’s Day, Christmas, and general greeting‑card assortments.

Impact
Your Ren & Stimpy launch project opened the door to a decade of high‑profile licensed work.

You became a trusted illustrator capable of handling beloved characters with precision and personality.

Your designs contributed to Paper Magic’s strong presence in seasonal retail aisles during the height of licensed greeting‑card popularity.
