In 2026, I will have taught soft toy design at FIT for 20 years. I love helping the next generation of toy designers hone their skills so they can create engaging and entertaining toys that are just as memorable for today’s kids as the Dora line was for children back in the early 2000s. --Lauren Bavoso Flood, Toy Design ’98, designed the first Dora the Explorer doll line.
