From illustration and packaging to toy design and creative direction, Thaddeus builds work that feels nostalgic and new all at once. His mission is simple: create worlds where people feel seen, uplifted, and inspired to imagine more. 

This year marked a new wave in his creative journey. He introduced Toasty, his original plush toy, which quickly gained national attention with features in Toy Insider, Delish Magazine, and Adweek 2025. Thaddeus also partnered with CAVA to launch the brand’s first-ever artist-designed meal, blending food, storytelling, and character design in a way only he can. His voice continued to grow on the global stage with a speaking debut at Adobe MAX 2025, where he shared how play fuels powerful design.
