About Lobster Dog

Lobster Dog Machine Co. was built from a lifelong fascination with mechanics, storytelling, and the things that bring characters to life.

​

From an early age, I was drawn to animatronics, special effects, and precision machinery. Over the past 15 years, that passion turned into a career working across animatronics, stop-motion animation, precision manufacturing, and mechanical design. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to projects for world-renowned entertainment companies, collaborate with incredibly talented artists and engineers, and develop a deep respect for both creative problem solving and craftsmanship.

​

Lobster Dog Machine Co. began as a way to bring all of those experiences together under one roof.

​

What started as a small machine shop and design studio has grown into a place where I can focus on creating professional-grade stop-motion hardware, precision-machined components, and custom mechanical solutions for artists, studios, and makers alike. Every product is designed with durability, functionality, and real-world production experience in mind, because these are the same types of tools and systems I’ve relied on throughout my own career.

​

At its core, Lobster Dog is about building things the right way: thoughtfully designed, carefully machined, and made to last. Whether it’s a single armature component, a modular rigging system, or a custom mechanical project, the goal is always the same , to create reliable tools that help bring ideas and stories to life.

Thanks for stopping by and supporting a small independent shop. I’m proud of what I’ve built so far, and even more excited about what’s ahead.
