Alisa designs and builds costumes, puppets, masks and fx makeups throughout the greater Philadelphia area. While also teaching classes in costume design, costume construction, theatrical craftwork, makeup and puppet theatre, Alisa enjoys devising original puppetry productions for adults, refining her fine leather-working skills and struggling to learn the nuances of 3D modeling and printing. She is a "maker" through and through, adoring the challenge of exploring new techniques and the opportunity to share her experiences, triumphs and epic failures with fellow makers throughout the country.
