They continue to be surprised and inspired by daily interactions with fellow creators and collectors.
Klim Kozinevich is an industrial designer with nearly 20 years of experience in the toy, design, and entertainment industry. From hand-sculpting prototypes to overseeing production of best-selling toys for mass market, Klim has worked and innovated in every area of the toy industry. With Bigshot, Klim handles all production management and manufacturing, as well as character design and development. As the heart and soul of Bigshot Toyworks, it is Klim’s unique vision and undeniable talents that have provided the company with its reputation for quality, reliability, and innovation.
Scott Wetterschneider, a prolific master sculptor, is head of Bigshot’s group of modelers. Scott’s strangely blended background of fine art and video games can be seen in the elegant and energetic figures that he creates for Bigshot’s roster of clients. His digital sculpting abilities can handle anything from the simplest creations of Klim’s fevered imagination to the improbably complex paintings of Esao Andrews or Travis Louie.
Steve Brown has nearly 15 years of experience in the toy industry, and handles Sales & Marketing duties for Bigshot Toyworks. Steve’s background is in both specialty and mass-market toy retail as well as product development, domestic and international event planning and coordination, and brand management & development. He’s also one of only 13 National Yo-Yo Masters in the world. No kidding.
