Puppetry and Me

Some journeys are intentional and others come into our lives by surprise. When I began my acting career, I never set out to carve out experience as a puppeteer. I believe my love of visual and whimsical storytelling sent me to collaborators who used puppetry as a medium to bring these incredible worlds to life. And as they say, the rest is history…

Designer

Isabella’s love for puppetry and visual storytelling expanded when she began work as a Shadow Puppet Designer for Something Marvelous’ Production of Firefly Love. Her attention to detail and love of whimsy can be seen throughout her designs.
