Project Synopsis

Based on the beloved series of children’s books by Jon Klassen and Mac Barnett, “Shape Island” takes us to the whimsical land of three shapes: Triangle, Circle, and Square, as they explore their home and learn more about each other.
As a fan of Klassen & Barnett’s work, I was extremely excited to come on to this project.

As a fan of Klassen & Barnett’s work, I was extremely excited to come on to this project. As a model-maker, I got to create beautiful props for the titular shapes. I wore many other hats throughout the production: set builder, terrain expert, prop master, and set dresser, to name a few.
