Bring your story to life.
Puppet Heap is a unique design, fabrication, and production studio based in Hoboken, specializing in storytelling through the creation of iconic characters for various media, including film, television, advertising, theater, and new media. Founded by artist, designer, filmmaker, and professor Paul Andrejco, the company began in the early ‘90s beneath a burgeoning “heap” of puppets in his small Hoboken apartment. Now, just a few blocks away, Puppet Heap is home to teams of talented artists, designers, writers, and producers who create character-based narratives for clients around the world, including The Walt Disney Company, Sesame Workshop, and Nickelodeon.
Puppet Heap is also honored to be entrusted with the care, maintenance, and creative support for Disney’s The Muppets Studio since 2006.
We take pride in our local roots, and you may have spotted our Heap walking the streets of Hoboken last year. Whether it's designing new characters or maintaining beloved classics, Puppet Heap continues to bring great stories to life.
