Media agnostic director/designer/builder/performer
I am a puppet and set designer, performer, and visual artist. Trained in visual art at the University of South Carolina, I soon found myself working in puppet theater as a designer, builder, and performer. In 2004, I founded Inkfish with Alissa Mello and Brian Snapp. My interests and concerns as a theater artist are uses of design and new technologies as an integral storytelling component. My work has been supported by the Jim Henson Foundation, Puffin Foundation, and the Puppet Centre Trust.
