Publishers of fun to make wood toy projects and plans.
Brinka Dada says: We are a team of people who believe that toys don’t need to be noisy or flashy to be exciting. But toys shouldn’t be marked “For Display Only” either. Toys should be beautiful and fun. That’s why we design toys that parents love to look at and children love to play with.
About Douglas Rollins, Founder: As a teenager sitting in 9th grade German class, Doug’s instructor, Herr Johnson, informed the students “Doug has great ideas and someday people are going to listen to him.” He’s still waiting for that day to come. In the meantime, he founded Brinca Dada to bring together his love of design and toys. Doug has had a successful career as an entrepreneur, marketer and toy buyer. He spent nine years at Toys”R”Us and ToysRUs.com in Marketing, New Concept Development and Buying. Before that, he helped successfully launch several different start-up companies. Doug has a BA in Humanities from Brigham Young University and an MBA from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Business and enjoys reading, riding his Vespa and wrestling with his kids. He lives in New York City with his wife and their three children. Read More.
About Tim Boyle, Co-Founder: Doug went looking for an architect who would be willing to design toys. Instead, he found an architect who is passionate about toys. Tim is an extremely talented architect and has worked with a number of award-winning architecture firms, most recently with Sawyer/Berson. Tim loves great architecture and demonstrates that dollhouses can be as highly designed as real houses.
