## Caption

Unfortunately, I kind of sucked at marketing on social media. BUT…

I’ll always be really proud of the toy sets I designed.

I designed and launched each set myself. I did the packaging, instructions, set design, CMF, hired, coordinated and directed the graphic designer…a lot. 

The videos above are unreleased stock footage I have from the endangered birds set. To this day, it’s still the only brick set released to focus entirely on endangered birds. I might be biased but I think that’s  pretty cool.

I might need to share a few lessons learned from this whole endeavor.
