Small batch.
Handmade.
Totally charming.

We design puppets, build worlds and develop original content for media, books, and the stage.
Every project starts with character — and a little mischief.

Custom Puppets

We’re Drama Desk nominated puppet builders who create custom puppets for productions, campaigns and artists who take big swings.

We create professional-quality puppets for television, film, live events, and Broadway. Whether you're bringing a beloved character to life or designing something entirely new, we can help — including sourcing top-tier puppeteers.

Original Content Development

We create and shape IP — both our own and in collaboration with production companies and artists. We specialize in worldbuilding, pitch decks and character-driven ideas that stand out in any medium.

Picture Books

As an author/illustrator duo, we craft offbeat picture books that celebrate uncommon heroes, big feelings, and handmade magic.
Our debut picture book comes in out Spring 2027 with Balzer + Bray at MacMillan. Announcement in Publisher’s Weekly.

We are represented by Moe Ferrara at Triada US Literary Agency.

Let’s collaborate.

Life is short. We partner with people who take big artistic swings and value storytelling, craftsmanship, and creative risks.
