The puppet community is a small world and one job usually leads to the next. Sometimes you need to be in the right place a the right time! 

I was so happy to get hired on to The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance a couple of summers ago. I was assigned to the Skeksi crew where I got to re-create the costume for Ritual Master. Additionally, I draped the General and sewed for the Scroll Keeper. And I got to work with the nicest people on the planet.

​

With Crank Yankers, I began working professionally in the world of puppets. I am usually making the puppet costumes, which can be a challenge. Puppets have odd body proportions.

I learned puppet building on the job at Crank Yankers and it was a natural fit with my background in pattern making.

My experience as a puppet builder led me into wrangling for the Muppets, which involves preparing puppets for on camera appearances. I will dress and prep characters as needed, rod their hands and rig props.
