A bona fide autodidact, Zack spent much of his
adolescence secluded in his bedroom, teaching
himself the principles of classic animation. At the
age of 17 he sold his first cartoon concept,
which led to the creation of a few award-winning
animated shorts.
Zack quickly grew restless with classic animation.
"If only there was a way to make the characters
move without having to draw millions of frames!"
So, at the ripe old age of 19, Zack moved to New
York, where his idea to design puppets was first
conceived. “How can it be any simpler” he thought,
“when all you need to do is stick your hand inside to
bring the character to life?” A few months later, the
Furry Puppet studio was born.
These days, Zack approaches his work as a
designer from an animator’s perspective,
constantly attempting to challenge the physical
limits of the puppet’s materials.
