IZ - Zizzle
When asked by the owner of the company that created Furby to create a new modern interactive character. We came up with IZ…
Dubbed “The Furby for the iPod Generation,” IZ is an utterly unique animated character that is all about creating sounds, light and music. Proudly designed and developed as part of a team consisting of Todd Kurtzer, Dino Crisanti and Kris Paulson.

A Patented Sound Experience…
These patent drawings show the internal workings of IZ. He has independently moving eye stalks, positionable legs and ear horns, as well as multiple inputs for creating hundreds of unique sounds. Devising a unique method of storing sound data, we were able to pack hundreds of sounds and musical compositions at very high quality into a standard toy chip.
