You take something we’ve seen a million times and bring us into an animated world. I love your mind.

Meet Abigail
A maker who works across paper, stage, and screen
A physical storyteller with roughly twenty years of practice across puppetry, animation, and aerial acrobatics, Abigail holds an MFA in Puppet Arts from the University of Connecticut, where she now directs online puppetry education. Whether she is cutting paper by hand, leading a room of first-time makers, or hanging mid-air in front of a projected story, the throughline is the same: making the improbable feel possible.
