MANATEE

As the Emmy Award–winning Production Designer for the series Endlings, one of the biggest challenges was designing and fabricating a 46-foot-long, organic-looking crashed spaceship. Its spiraled, helical form and extruded bubble-dome canopy demanded innovative solutions—balancing complex design with tight deadlines and budget constraints.

Endlings

Built for Bell Canada, “Merpy” is a Bunraku-style puppet with a custom animatronic head. Following an overwhelmingly positive reception, we returned for a second campaign; adding fully articulated hands and enhancing the animatronics for more expressive facial movement and deeper character portrayal

We designed, built, and puppeteered a full-scale 54-foot sperm whale for the Prime series The Boys—our largest and most ambitious creation yet. Engineered for realism and on-set performance, the puppet delivered a dramatic, unforgettable moment in the show.

We created a vibrant expressive Animatronic Cardinal head and hands for KIND Snacks, featuring remote-controlled eyes, eyebrows, and a head crest. Feathers were hand-laid for a realistic finish, and both the eyes and beak were 3D printed to keep this bird looking sharp.
