I can imagine in her case, it would require a very well-rounded individual to design the toy, come up with marketing/branding, build it and pitch it. I was definitely thinking of working in the pipeline at a larger company, like you said, where someone could be more specialized and focus on one aspect of the design. Does she have any interest in moving to a big company? As in, doing spec work until she demonstrates she's competent, and gets hired on? Or is there a career in freelance toy design? Like any self-employment it would be stressful, but you'd be more exciting at parties than the millionth person building FarmBookVille Freemium.
