I sculpted 1:12 scale flowers for Mighty Oak to be sent out to front line workers during the start of the pandemic.

Stork puppet created for a short horror film to be released in the winter of 2021.

I was thrilled to join the other fabricators at Mighty Oak to help create 1:12 scale set pieces for Coke’s Sip & Scan® app. Customers can scan the logo of products to unlock themed videos filled with tiny props.

I joined the Mighty Oak fabrication team to assist building this miniature holiday village. I also had the fun of being the stylist for this lovely mini-set during the shoot.

I was thrilled to make some of the miniature props and puppet costumes for Emily Ann Hoffman’s latest short film, Blackheads.

I was thrilled to do the puppet fabrication for Finkel’s music video, Shut-I. The ask was to create characters that were a perfect mix of cute and robot-body-horror-creepy.

1:12 scale zen garden.

Designed, built, and performed this short piece in Puppet Playlist 26: Names. The four-piece paper mâché face could split into four separate elements, then re-assemble together. The two hands were also paper mâché.

I worked on the costuming for this puppet at The Puppet Kitchen. This character is a pop punker who keep rocking as a rag doll after his death.

Full body foam hand and rod puppet I designed and built for the short film The Consultation. The film was featured in the Spoiler Alert film festival at Rough Trade NYC.

Designed, built, and performed this short piece in Puppet Playlist 24: Whitney Houston. This included two foam hand puppets, two sock style puppets, 12 anatomical fabric hearts, and two creature suits that could hold the hearts until the performers would pull each heart out individually and transfer it to the second performer's suit. Watch it here.
