Experience

  • Prop Fabrication & Puppet Making at La Troje
    Mexico City, MX
    February 2026 - Present

    Worked on the fabrication and restoration of props, puppets, and miniature sets for stop-motion production. Sculpted and fabricated props through molding, resin casting, and painting processes, completing pieces within production deadlines. Developed a series of nine detailed puppet skeletons with a focus on anatomy and proportion, and designed prototype components for their articulation system. I have also participated in artistic and technical decisions involving puppets, props, and sets, and I am currently responsible for the construction and preparation of a set for an upcoming stop-motion shoot.
