Carlyle Nuera is the lead designer for Barbie Signature at Mattel. He is a 2010 graduate of the Otis College of Art and Design.
Nuera’s debut design was that of the Filipina Barbie doll known as Mutya Barbie, which recalls the glamor of old-school Filipino beauty pageants. It was released by Mattel as part of the brand’s Global Glamour Collection. The design was inspired by Nuera’s heritage and his family.
