Biography
Peggy Brown is full of it. Creativity, that is.
She’s been overflowing with ideas all of her life.
Her passion for playful silliness combined with her artistic
perspective, natural curiosity, wealth of quirky knowledge,
delight in pop-culture, and desire to share ideas with
as many people as possible make a rare and winning combination.
She’s certainly got that left brain-right brain
combo thing happening, and she puts it to good use.
She’s created hundreds of products that have been
mass-produced and marketed all over the world, written
a couple of books, taught a few classes, and instigated
countless people to chuck their inhibitions and unleash
their creative spirits in a great variety of situations.
Backed by a Fine Arts degree in Industrial Design and
an impressive resume, Peggy has worked for many of the
world’s biggest toy companies in a number of capacities:
as an inventor, a designer, writer, creative director,
consultant, or executive.
Her career began as a staff designer where she had a hand
in games such as Girl Talk, Outburst, and Pretty Pretty
Princess. Next, she launched and ran a successful design
and development company called Alley Oop, which provided
creative services to clients such as Hasbro, Mattel, Fisher
Price, Tyco, Playmates, and many other companies in the
US, Canada and Europe.
Since then, she has done development work on all kinds
of products, including some with brands such as Barbie,
Warner Brothers, Disney, Sesame Street, McDonald’s
and Nickelodeon, just to name a few. She’s worked
inside companies as a creative director and VP, and on
her own as a product developer, creative thinker, designer,
brainstorming leader, creative writer and author.
Lately she’s on a mission to inspire creativity
and uncover the playful spirit in others any way she can
– through inventing games, making art, writing stories
and books; even teaching folks to build things with paper
cups and soda straws. From the Brownies to the boardroom,
everybody can use a shot of creative energy, and that’s
just what you’ll get from Peggy Brown.
