About Me
Background
My passion to create and invent started as a child with Legos, drawing, making movies, taking photos, making art, model making, painting, sculpting, and performing magic tricks. As a teenager I started to understand machines and engineering by working on cars. I continued to develop my creative and technical skills by taking drafting and art classes in high school and college. My time working for Michael Curry Design brought all of my skills together, as I was mentored in art of puppetry and stage craft at the highest level. I developed into a world class problem solver, fabricator, engineer, inventor, and project manager, building props and puppets for live theatrical productions worldwide. I continue working in the entertainment industry as a freelance Creative Consultant and Custom Fabricator. I am currently working on my UX Design certification.
