YOUR INTREPID EXPLORERS AND HOSTS
My interest in design, fabrication, and all things creepy began when I started dabbling in special effects makeup and sculpture in high school. I attended college for film and video production but continued to explore my interest in these areas. Since 2001 I have designed and built costumes, props, set pieces, and animatronics for theatre and small film productions, costume shops, television networks, and of course, haunted attractions in the Greater Philadelphia area. I also work as a special effects makeup artist with my business partner, Michelle Harnish.
Over the past few years I've built up a backlog of ideas- for props, costumes, masks, and animatronics inspired by working in and with haunted attractions. After some research I found that no other companies were making items quite like the ones I had in mind. I decided to build them myself in order to make them available to the industry.
And thus, Safari Anomalous was born.
My goal is to make Safari Anomalous the place you turn to when searching for those unique pieces that will make your production stand out. All of our original, limited edition items are handcrafted with the finest attention to detail by myself and my assistants in our Philadelphia studio. Every item is shipped with instructions for proper installation, care, and storage to ensure its longevity for many seasons. Be sure to ask about custom work if you like what you see but it isn't exactly what you need. We know that with our experience, drive for perfection, and passion for our work there's nothing we can't accomplish.
On behalf of myself and my crew, thank you for taking the time to visit the site and explore our product line. We look forward to serving you for many seasons to come.
