I’m Seth D. Weinberg, a versatile product designer with decades of experience crafting licensed, collectible, and educational products for major brands. I specialize in translating concepts into 2D drawings and 3D sculpt-ready designs, collaborating with in-house teams and global partners to deliver on time and on brand.
From enamel pins to plush, learning toys and home décor, I’m passionate about blending storytelling with practical design to create engaging, market-ready products. I enjoy mentoring teammates and thriving in fast-paced, license-driven environments.
