Origins: A Creative Journey

EP 13- The Power of Community and Optimism with Hyperactive Monkey’s Jerome Lu


Listen Later

If you’ve ever thought about making your own toy, or trying to break into the toy industry, you’ve got to listen to this conversation with the creator of Hyperactive Monkey, Jerome Lu.

Jerome works by day for clients like Hasbro, Super7, Nice Kicks, and Spin Master, and builds the world of Hyperactive Monkey at night. He shares his origin story: from being rejected from animation programs to getting into toy design to working on the Star Wars franchise to how his journey is like the Fast and the Furious films.

In this conversation Jerome shares tons of great advice for aspiring creatives of all disciplines, especially those seeking to collaborate and get their foot in the door.
