A Bit About Me

Experienced miniature fabricator and designer with 12 years in the stop-motion animation and toy industries. Specializing in precision draping, patterning, and construction, I create highly detailed miniature costumes, props, and sets that are both visually striking and functionally innovative. With meticulous attention to detail and a problem-solving approach, I ensure each piece meets the unique demands of animation and collectible design. Notable achievements include an Emmy for Robot Chicken and a Kidscreen Award for Mickey and Friends Trick or Treats.
