Finding Dory - Disney Infinity 3.5 - Morro Bay

Five Stars! "Great Playset - The Finding Dory playset is awesome. Gameplay under the ocean is so neat in Disney Infinity." - PrintMaster (Best Buy reviewer)

I had the amazing privilege of being the Co-Art Director on the Finding Dory Disney Infinity Play-set. I helped to establish the visual direction for the Environments, Enemies, Props, Toys, Buildings, FX, and the User Interface. I'm so proud of how it turned out, thanks goes to all of the amazing people that worked on it! It's a wonderful game.
