For over 30 years under the company name ProppedUP I have created and built a wide range of props for theatre, television, movies, commercials, boat shows, amusement parks, malls, etc.  In addition, I have worked with private clients to build, restore and upholster many kinds of furnishings.
 
My experience covers a wide range of materials and skills such as:
  • Woodworking (turning, carving, faux finishes, lamination, bending)
  • Upholstery of all types (such as spring work, tufting, channeling & applique)
  • Sculpting & manipulation of different materials (such as wood, stone, plastic, papier mache)
  • Welded wire armatures used in various hat, costume and float applications.
 I am comfortable working with designers to achieve their desired vision on projects and have no problem with tight schedules or staying within budgets.  In particular, I enjoy problem-solving and can work closely with other team members when necessary or as a totally independent artisan, whatever the project calls for. 

Please contact me for more information, it would be my pleasure to discuss your designs.
