PIXELBLOCKS

Pixelblocks was a toy company based in Los Angeles, California. The original idea came from Jay Simmons, a television engineer, who saw the power of pixels in physical form. I took the idea, redesigned the product and built a company around it. I started the company, acquired funding, and built the company until the toy was in 2500 shops across the USA.
