Based on my lived experience working at a science museum during the 2017 Great North American Solar Eclipse, this recounts what it’s like to have all the glasses when everyone wants them. This is the first and only animation I have made.

A pandemic era shadow puppet show about the role of pigeons in human history as a domesticated bird. This was presented through Nasty Brutish and Short (a Chicago Based Puppet Cabaret) in February 2021.

I wrote this show to explore the relationships between extinct animals from the Pleistocene and the things that coevolved with and then outlived them. This puppet show combines crankie, shadow puppetry using an overhead projector, and other stage puppets (which happen to all be made of cardboard). Presented in August 2024 at the Center on Halsted through Puppetqueers

I made this puppet from all repurposed materials. This was commissioned for a show called The Dinosaur of Lake Michigan.

This is a collaboration with Emilie Wingate and other amazing puppeteers and puppet builders. We strive to inspire a connection to animals with our charming and sustainably built puppets.

With the help of friends, I lead the construction of over 50 lantern puppets to have a parade experience as part of my wedding!

In January of 2026 I was part of a workshop class that created two giant lantern puppets, fox and cardinal for the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival

Inspired by the resilience of the trans community and monarch butterflies, this puppet flew through the 2026 Chicago Pride Parade with Equality Illinois.
