What is your favourite part about working in the toy industry?
What I love most about working in the toy industry is the creativity and imagination that go into every product. It’s exciting to take quirky ideas and turn them into something that sparks joy for both kids and adults. Toys aren’t just for fun—they tell stories and create experiences that connect people. Being part of an industry that’s always evolving with new trends and innovations keeps it fresh and inspiring, and I’m thrilled to contribute to that magic.

What top tip would you give to a fellow exhibitor or visitor attending their first Toy Fair?
My top tip for a first-time Toy Fair exhibitor or visitor is to plan ahead and pace yourself. The event can be overwhelming with so much to see and do, so map out key booths or brands you want to visit. For exhibitors, make sure your booth is engaging and reflects your brand’s unique story, but also take time to explore and network. For visitors, stay open to discovering new brands and products, and don’t be afraid to ask questions or connect with others—you never know where those conversations might lead!
