Designer/Builder
The design and crafting of the puppet was truly my first fascination with
puppetry, coming from a design/tech background. This aspect of the form
continues to intrigue me. I love the challenges presented, the pursuit and
the accomplishment.
These samples are of some of my designs and builds from my own company,
The Pandemonium Puppet Company, to special commissions and university productions.
