EXTRA STUFF

Hello!! Welcome to the secret place where I demonstrate a few animation-adjacent skills that I have but only possess half-baked projects to showcase. Though I don't have too much to show for myself at this time, I have experience in the following:
 

  • sculpture (clay, foam, CG)

  • working with silicones, urethane plastics and foams, resins etc

  • mold-making and casting

  • costume design

  • costume-making (knowledge of sewing machines etc)

  • character design

  • wire armature puppet-fabrication

  • stop-motion animation

  • various machinery + tools (I have scenic design and build experience from working on the CalArts Halloween and Drag Ball parties)​

Sculpture - Charlie

This is a clay sculpture made for a class. I unfortunately was unable to finish. Total time spent was roughly 25 hours.

Sculpture - Janey

This was a personal project done during the covid pandemic. This was my first time sculpting ANYTHING and the entire process was self-taught. This was intended to become a silicone puppet but I ended up getting too busy. 

Puppet Fabrication - Janey 2.0

This is an ongoing project that was originally part of my thesis film. I intended to create a mixed media film with stop-motion protagonists, however I didn't have the time or budget. I KNOW there's some pretty egregious mistakes in here, being self taught means finding out the hard way. I promise I'm a fast learner!

Puppet Fabrication - Mango

This was my first time making and animating a wire armature puppet. I have a few animated clips of Mango in my demo reel

Costume Making - Cowgirl

Excuse the weirdness of this one, but I made my costume from scratch for the CalArts 2024 Drag Ball. Everything except the bell, gloves and shoes were entirely handmade, including the udders and nose prosthesis. This was my first time working with latex in such a capacity. 

Costume Making - Graduation Outfit

This is an ongoing project. I am currently making my graduation outfit!! I drafted the pattern for this tunic myself. I still need to sew the collar lining on, add clasps, and embroider several panels.

Thank You!

Thank you for taking the time to look through my work. I encourage you to explore the rest of my portfolio to get a better understanding of my skills and interests. Have a lovely day!! :)
