Zobel-HensonPodcast

Julie Zobel began her career at Henson in New York City in 1980 as part of the Costume Department. She specialized in designing, creating, and building the large walkaround characters that were employed by arena shows and public relations, such as Sesame Street Live, The Muppet Show: On Tour!, and Muppet Babies Live! She worked on numerous other Henson productions and toy prototyping during those years as well.

In 1991, she moved out to Los Angeles to be part of the L.A. Creature Shop when Dinosaurs went into production and remained there to be a part of opening the west coast Creature Shop. Her work in Los Angeles has often been for outside production companies who want realistic animal puppets to match performing animals in movies such as Dr. Dolittle. Fifteen years after leaving the New York Workshop, Julie Zobel often finds her time spent working with familiar Muppet characters once again.
