What Myrna does

Founder and creative force behind OOZ & OZ llc. Inventor and manufacturer of "mirror-aculous" Morph-O-Scopes - unique optical illusion educational toys, activities, and party fun based on the ancient Chinese art of anamorphosis.

National toy reviews: http://www.oozandoz.com/?page_id=82.

Winner of 24 national toy awards, plus 2001 winner of Oprah's Build Your Own Business contest and recipient of the 2004 SBA Metropolitan Washington, DC Entrepreneurial Success Award.

Always creating more optical illusion coloring toys and books, stationery items and premiums. Also field testing kid-art optical illusion fundraisers to help restore educational arts budgets!

Product videos for OOZandOZ.com are almost done. What fun to be doing animation again!

What Myrna does best

My little niche is creating stimulating, engaging, interactive products for educational settings and events of all sizes for all ages. Brilliant, challenging fun for multiple intelligences. My Morph-O-Scopes "Circus" Kit has earned 19 national toy awards and the new Morph-O-Scopes "Sports of All Sorts" Kit has earned 5 national toy awards (so far).

What does Myrna need?

Do you have connections to party and event planners, directors of cruise ship entertainment, youth fundraiser professionals who need truly unique, WOW activities, brain tickling ice breakers and eye-boggling table toppers for all ages? They'll be grateful for the relay. (And so will I.)
