Introduction
For a little over a year while he was in college, Garrett Sander worked at FAO Schwartz. Other than that, he has spent his entire professional career, about 13 years, at Mattel. His background and training are mostly in graphic design, and after he presented his portfolio to them at the end of his junior year, Mattel spent the next year waiting for him to graduate so they could hire him. He started by designed packaging. He now works in entertainment, making the animated Barbie movies, and from 2007 to 2010 he was the person who birthed the global phenomenon known as Monster High and brought it forth to the world.

Mike Bradecich: "Garretts Sander, thank you very much for being on the Kids Stuff Podcast."

Garrett Sander: "Thank you for having me."

Mike Bradecich: "Of course. I was looking at your Tumblr and your Instagram and all of your education and all of your job descriptions say designer, illustrator, artist. But, looking at your social media, it looks like the art is definitely not the headline for you. It's all about toys. You are Toy Guy."

Garrett Sander: "Yes, I'm Toy Guy, yes."

Mike Bradecich: "So waht did that look like when you were a kid?"

Garrett Sander: "Lots and lots of toys everywhere. My parents wear very patient and I have a twin brother too and we love toys, so we had a bonus room in our house."
