Whitney Pollett

Founder/Creative Director at Pixelle Studios | USA

Whitney Pollett is the founder and CEO of Pixelle Studios, a creative studio where toys, animation, and IP collide. With 15+ years in the toy and entertainment industries, Whitney has developed characters, built brands, and helped expand the world of play for Disney, Mattel, Netflix, Nickelodeon, Universal, Spin Master, MGA, Moose, and Warner Bros

A former Nickelodeon Creative Director, Whitney specializes in bridging the gap between IP and consumer products, bringing the worlds of storytelling and play together from the very beginning. Her latest toy invention, Ring Queens, brought to life with JAKKS Pacific, is a perfect example of that approach.

At Pixelatl, Whitney will share how creators can build IP that invites audiences to experience, play, collect, and become part of the world - and why bringing toys and consumer products into the creative process early can unlock entirely new possibilities for storytelling.
