We provide full-scale toy development , offering a full range of professional services for toy developers from large to small.

Technology driven entertainment, learning and compelling play are all increasingly vital components of successful toy and children’s entertainment products across all segments, including preschool and infant.

We are known to be versatile, uniquely capable in integrating the technical and creative sides of development, for understanding our customers and for a total commitment to providing uncompromising and passionate support for your needs.

Our staff of seasoned professionals and our proprietary tools allow us to offer anything from multilingual character voice recording and editing to custom “black-box” prototype engineering. Our in-house producers, composers, sound designers, and programmers can provide original music and sound effects that will meet or exceed your creative expectations—then custom program the work to your exact play-pattern expectations, working with just about any embedded chip platform.

Our dedicated production support staff will manage your product with exemplary professionalism and attention to detail. Our efficiency and productivity will ensure that your product development stays on target and on budget.

In 2006, we saw a need for Asia-based engineering, development, and support, and opened our Hong Kong subsidiary, “Inspire Ltd.”, in HK Science Park providing HK/China based engineering, development and support with a highly experienced team of electronics and hardware engineers and project managers. The close relationship between Creativity and Inspire allows us to make the most of the respective advantages of Domestic and Far East development.
