For over ten years, Chris has worked as a designer across the fields of toys & collectibles, animation, and illustration. Inspired by myth, animation, and Americana, Chris most enjoys collaborating to explore characters and their stories.
When not working, Chris is probably chasing around the small human in his house.

Originating in Seattle’s performing arts scene, Kayla was a Prop Master, Scenic Artist, and Administrative Manager of over 10 years. Serendipity sent her to Funko, where she immersed herself in the collectibles space. At Kaleidos Creative she’s found her happy place managing the “backstage” process of production.

Emery is excited to leverage her past work experience from Paramount, LucasArts, and Pixar, together with the immensely talented crew of artists at Kaleidos, to bring you exceptional timeless designer collectibles.

Driven by a deep love of animation and character design, Seth (Kibooki) spent much of his 20+ year career animating and directing short films and commercials in the UK. After making a segue into toy design in 2014 he realized that this was the perfect medium for him, allowing his love of character and storytelling to take center stage.

After a decade in the industry, Darcy realized she needed to reconnect with her individual identity as an artist. At Kaleidos Creative, she looks forward to exploring and rediscovering herself as an artist and sculptor. She is also eager to help cultivate and grow a supportive environment that focuses on the art and the people. Her hope is to create opportunities that inspire and encourage future artists, just as she was inspired in her early career.

Designer by day, chronically online by night, Ryann joins Kaleidos Creative armed with a graphic design degree and 12 years of experience in the collectibles industry. When she’s not watching TV with her dog, she can likely be found making hyper-niche playlists or intimidating her enemies.

Figurative cat, literal human.
Deeply fascinated by puppetry and animation, Nena set herself on the path to make her childhood dreams tangible by becoming a toy designer and sculptor. Ten years in she still loves it. Exploring themes of darkness, fantasy, nature, and crafting (with the occasional dad joke thrown, cause she’s a nerd like that).

Meg draws. Like, a lot. Meg has worked in the industry for a while. Meg has made greeting cards and toys and lots of little books. Now Meg works at Kaleidos and gets to draw as many cats as she likes. Meg does not like writing bios. Okay love you bye.

Mike has worked throughout his career, to build successful organizations enabling great global brands.He has done this at companies like Nike, Funko, and Wolverine Worldwide. Today, at Kaleidos Creative, he has the opportunity to help create something truly special and unique.

Anna is a digital sculptor and designer with over 10 years of experience in the toy and collectible industry. When she’s not rewatching Jane Austen adaptations or The Lord of the Rings Trilogy for the thousandth time, you can likely find her outside, tending to her garden.

Ben has been creating characters and telling stories long before he started working in the toys and collectibles space in 1996. He started out as a character artist designing product at The Disney Stores for 5 years before moving to Pixar Animation Studios, where he spent 12 years as the Creative Director over all Consumer Products for the company. In 2013, Ben moved to Funko LLC. where he was the SVP of Creative for the next 10 years. All of this experience set the stage for Kaleidos Creative, which he started in February of 2024.
