Hi!  My Name is Karen Valleau and I am, among many things, an Emmy Award winning designer.

My work in television, film and theatre has allowed me to provide my services as a designer, sculptor, illustrator, puppet maker, and puppeteer.

These days I specialize in designing and creating stop motion puppets as well as live action puppets for film and television.

I really love the myriad of different skills involved, and the process from first drawings through to finished characters.

 On this website you can find examples of my skills.  Be sure to check out my Featured page as you look around, and if you have any questions about my work please don’t hesitate to contact me.
