Charlie’s Story
Graphic designer, illustrator, toy collector, toy designer, bad guitarist, photographer. These are just a few of the hobbies and talents that keep Charlie Calderin happy and inspired while running Doink Design. It is a never-ending quest for him to integrate having fun and making a living.
During his 20 years of design, Charlie has worked with and contributed to a wide range of national and international brands such as Universal Studios, Chartpak, Pelikan, KOH-I-NOOR, Burger King, and Mini USA as well as many local and regional businesses in the South Florida area. His toy designs are included in countless personal collections and have been featured in several publications and shows in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
Charlie graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design. He is of Cuban decent and very proud of his Jesuit education. He loves the ocean and can’t wait to visit Atlantis (not the resort in the Bahamas, he’s been there)
