Mattel taps its creative juices with the power of Platypus

But to Mattel's Ivy Ross, this pairing of the unexpected symbolizes a whole new world of toy creation. A senior VP of design and development for girls at the toyco, Ross is also the mind behind Project Platypus - a new program that immerses Mattel staffers in an organic process designed to unleash the creative juices that lead to innovative and unique new toys.
