Project Synopsis

Ikea Pets is a whimsical short-form series that follows a charming ensemble of plush toys as they navigate the everyday moments of their tiny world—with big, humorous results. Set entirely in environments built from items purchased at IKEA, each episode captures these soft characters experiencing humorous “real-life” scenarios, from shared meals to unexpected encounters, all staged with imaginative, handcrafted sets and props. The show highlights playful storytelling through expressive plush performances and clever use of everyday objects, turning ordinary furniture and décor into a delightfully quirky backdrop for their adventures.

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 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.
