About
My name is Alissa Maldonado, and I am a Toy Designer, Illustrator, and Character Designer located in Los Angeles, California. My biggest strengths lie in my mastery of human anatomy and speedy work ethic from 4 years of figure and gesture drawing. I am a passionate and dedicated artist, with exceptional skills in all aspects of the design process including, ideation, sketching, rendering, and revising. I strive to create products that will spark joy in the consumer and that will create years of fun memories.

Magically Marvelous!
Yuki The Ice Witch and Hoku the Bat from my high end collectible doll line, Sweet Sorcerers
  • 3 weeks of character design work squeezed down to 3 minutes. Vi was one of the most redesigned character in this line; her hair, color scheme face, and fashion were constantly under scrutiny, and with such little time to finish this product I worked diligently to create a compelling and cute design.
  • Fashion Fight
    A futuristic fashion doll taking place in a world where the only thing that matters is fashion! Here our girls Mako Ari and Vi are ready to take on the world and steal the show, winning the world's biggest fashion competition, Fashion Fight. Coming with two outfit accessories, and a special light-up fit, these dolls are stylin'.
  • Sweet Sorcerers
    A high-End Collectible doll line meant for older girls who are interested in collect more expensive fragile figures. Since most collectible figures are PVC/resin, $40+, and meant for ages 15 and up, Sweet Sorcerers are meant to fill that gap for girls who would like an introduction to the collecting world. These Dolls are based on the highly popular Maho Shoujo genre, meant to show girls that they all have that special magic in them.
  • Here you can see my whole process of drawing from finding the form to changing around elements, to lining and rendering. I was asked to create an image that I felt represented me and this spunky drawing of myself I feel encapsulates my energy, and aesthetic.
  • Fashion Doll Sketching
    My whole life I never thought I'd be so in love with designing dolls. Growing up i was never really into them other than the more edgy brand of Bratz, but as I got older, and became more comfortable in my femininity, I absolutely adore drawing and ideating fashion, make up and looks for these girls. Empowering young girls to explore and be creative in whatever way they want, I feel as though if that's not what dolls were intended to do, its what they should and what I strive to create.
