Hey there! I’m Allaira.

It’s nice to e-meet you! My name is Allaira Bartlett-Gray. I’m a Portland-based artist working in stop-motion animation.

One former client described me as “a swiss army knife” and I think that’s a pretty fair way to sum up my skills. I’ve presented for an international non-profit, managed performances for a Shakespearean theatre, prepared puppets for an Oscar-nominated animation studio, and worked in many other areas. For more on my professional life, read a full list of my experiences here.

When I’m not building models or preparing puppets to be used on set, you can find me planning my next trip. Having grown up around the world (Oregon, South Carolina, and Guam to be exact), I’m always eager to explore cultures different from my own.

Thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet! Submit a form here if you’d like to work together or chat about life.
