Hi, I’m Michael!

I’m an independent plush artist based in Texas, making custom character plushes full time since 2020. My projects have ranged from personal commissions for collectors to prototypes for other creators.

My work draws inspiration from my grandmother’s quilting and my interest in character design. I pay particular attention to proportions, expressions, and the details that make a character recognizable. Through pattern work, shape testing, and embroidery, I explore how those designs can take shape in fabric.

Alongside my plush work, I’m developing Buggy and the Stuffen, my own world of original characters. I write the comic strips and collaborate with illustrators to bring their adventures to the page. You can explore the comics and meet the characters here on the site.

Thanks for stopping by and taking an interest in what I make!
