About Our Plush Toy Designer
Making toys is the best job; I get to create a little joy everyday.
Diane Wooldridge has been designing and making toys since childhood. She loves the challenge of creating three dimensional toys from fabric, thread, and fluff. Diane began her career at Dakin, Inc. and later went on to establish Soft Toy Designs. A few highlights: Creating clothing for the Spice Girls Fashion Dolls with the incredible team at Galoob Toys, spending 3 intense days at Images in Motion making clothing for the Being John Malkovich marionettes, and collaborating with designer Gayle Middleton on the Vamplets.
