About me

My name is Annika Schindler. I am a senior miniature costume fabricator. I have been working in the stop-motion industry for almost two decades, costuming TV-shows and feature films in Europe and America. For the last 10 years I am living and working in Portland, Oregon.

I have been involved in the look and development of the costumes of “The Boxtrolls”, “Kubo” and “Missing Link” for the renowned animation company Laika, and I only recently finished my contribution on Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pinocchio” at Shadowmachine.

For the last two years I have been sharing my expertise and knowledge of the art + science of miniature costumes with the next generation of stop-motion artists in my online teaching program.
