Ask the
Deal Toy Expert.

A design question, a manufacturing detail or a new commission: share the context and what you would like to accomplish.

John Hathaway, deal toy designer and author of Deal Toy Expert

Make the first conversation useful

Start with what you know.

For a project, include the transaction or milestone, who will receive the pieces, approximate quantity, target delivery date and budget. References and draft wording are helpful, but a finished concept is not required.

If your question is about an article, a material or a production method, tell me which point you would like to understand better.

Commissioned projects

I work with the creative team at Polaris Custom Awards on custom deal toys, financial tombstones and recognition pieces.

Polaris works directly with specialized manufacturing partners and reviews a prototype before authorizing the full production run.
