This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Chandra Hicks, a toy designer who has been designing for Barbie for over a decade. Listen as we discuss:

• The challenges (and perks!) of working for a large corporation
• What it took to become a Barbie designer
• How Chandra made the decision to switch from Engineering to Toy Design
• The obstacles and joys of being a working mom
• How Mattel is working to be more inclusive with their toy offerings and also some updates on Barbie's personal life
