How it Started: How it's Going

Creating Three Dimensional Paper Sculpture for Film, Television, and Amusement Parks

Megan grew up in Los Angeles California and specializes in hand made three dimensional paper sculpture designs.  Her career as an artist began in 2004 at Cartoon Network Studios when she was hired to art direct an animated paper sculpture music video "Cool Kitty" for Andre Benjamin’s Class of 3000.  Since that time, she's created paper sculpture pieces for various Walt Disney Imagineering projects (Amusement parks, Disney Cruise Lines), Nickelodeon (Yo Gabba Gabba), United Airlines (Heart commercial), and Dreamworks Animation (Madagascar 2 end credits).  In 2013 she collaborated with her husband Shannon Tindle in creating the paper character designs for his film Kubo and the Two Strings (2015). Most recently she had the pleasure of working in costume design development for Brad Bird's upcoming film Ray Gun. Between commissions, she enjoys making paper sculptures for local art shows, and presenting at schools and conferences.
