Here he is! Meet Danily, who I designed and built for Keelay Gipson’s “demons.” This is my first fitting with @jomiray and he did an incredible job embodying this character. And then there’s our puppet director @jahbiggins whose input was endlessly helpful. As far as the types of projects I enjoy, this is what I would call a dream build and I’m so glad I had the chance to create this creature. More projects like this, please! #walkaround #bodypuppet #fullbodypuppet #puppet #puppetmaking #designer #fabrication #puppetdesigner #creative #craftersofinstagram #maker #makersgonnamake #characterdesign #characterart #practicaleffects

This is a personal project I’ve been meaning to get to for a while - a replica of the Barney plush from the TV show. Harder than it looks! Despite how busy I’ve been blessed to be, I finally made the time to do it. Those of you that know me know that Barney and Friends is the first puppet show that found me. It instigated my interest and subsequent career in show business and puppetry, so I enjoyed this build. You can guess what’s next when I have the time - a replica of the full sized Barney walkaround. Stay tuned! #barney #barneydoll #barneyandfriends #barneythedinosaur #mattel #puppetry #puppet #puppets #puppetmaking #cosplayer #art #artist #artistic #artistsoninstagram #sewing #crafts #crafting #fanart #barneyreplicadoll #barneyreplica

With @jimmi.collins being an avid crocheter and crafty queen, and @cedwanhooks as a puppeteer, puppet builder and designer, we wanted to make sure that our show was as handcrafted as possible. We spent many happy hours at the kitchen table making props, sets, and costumes! With the help of @brandredcreative we filmed practical effects elements like stop motion animation and puppetry. All with the goal of reminding kids about the joy of hands on arts and crafts. Parents can have their little ones watch it all in action on JiJi and Jax! Coming this February. #practicaleffects #behindthescenes #bts #tvproduction #kidsshow #childrenshow

JiJi & Jax inspire your little ones to get moving, crafting, and creating! 🐾🧶

Join JiJi and her pup-a-roo Jax this February! Follow @jijiandjax for gaboodles more fun!

The cat’s out of the bag, Sundance here we come! “Buddy” is a puppet horror film that I was a suit performer/puppeteer on this summer with an amazing team and it was a blast! Can’t wait to see this orange psychopath on the big screen. #horror #sundance #buddy #puppeteer #suitperformer #sundancefilmfestival #sundancefilmfestival2026

Movement test on Barney + vocal performance by me. With my schedule I don’t know how quickly I’ll be able to complete the rest of him, but this is what we’ve got for now!#barneythedinosaur #barneyandfriends #puppet #puppet #costumedesign #costume #mattel #barney #voiceactor
