I'm a theater artist with an interest in ghostly activities, such as haunting old buildings at night (I tend to stay late to clean up after shows), rattling my chains (the 12 odd key-chains on my carabiner, at least) and good old-fashioned poltergeistery (what is a puppeteer if not an unseen being waving objects around?).

Based in Portland, OR, and interested in costuming, set design, and most of all: puppets! Get comfortable, enjoy the scenery, and feel free to hang out in the lobby, where you can:

• See my recent favorite work and read about my larger projects over on the featured board
• Use the index if you’re ever lost or looking for something specific
• Read my resume to learn what I’ve been up to
• Keep tabs on this site’s constant updates via my dev log
• Peek at my desk to read my ramblings and hear about theater I’ve been seeing recently
• See what’s for sale in the storefront
• Head down to the bulletin board to find a show to see
• Continue on your web surfing via my friends & webrings
• Or head right to the library to check out a page or two about my creative endeavors! ☜☜☜

This site acts as my portfolio, but it's also just a personal blog to keep track of my projects, an extended behind the scenes to help you with your own projects, and an archive of my past work. Please feel free to shoot me an email! I love mail! (Or let me know if you come across any broken pages).

Bio:

Notion (it/it's) is a theater designer and puppetmaker who grew up in the Pacific Northwest. In its work it likes to explore mortality, identity, & otherness through the paranormal and mythological. It has previously worked with local productions such as designing puppets and sets for IMAGO theater, and puppeteering on the in-progress puppet series Fogtown. When not onstage you’ll find it coding its personal website, hoarding fabric, and trying to revive a critically panned Broadway musical.
