PORTFOLIO
Heimer
Puppetry | 45m | 2025-2026
Originally developed during her MA Puppetry at UAL, the project has since grown from a university-based practice into a professionally presented performance. The work has been selected for Polka Theatre’s Catapult 2026 and developed in collaboration with Roarrr Theatre.
HEIMER has been presented at venues and platforms including Underbelly Boulevard and Lyric Hammersmith, and was selected for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, where it was performed at The Space UK from 20–24 August 2026.
Izzy served as puppet designer, collaborating with Yunshu Jiang on puppet making, whilst also acting as Heimer's lead puppeteer and lighting designer of this show.

One Day to Go
Before the Deadline
Puppetry | The Cavendish Arms | 2025
A five-minute cabaret puppetry piece independently designed and produced by Izzy. This work explores the emotional journey within the artistic creation process—the sleepless nights, inner conflicts and moments of madness, culminating in the sense of achievement and joy upon completion. Through three puppets each embodying different facets of the artist, the performance gives tangible form to the struggles and release that accompany the act of creation from nothingness.

TARDIS Redesign
3D Modeling, Animation storyboard | 2024
A steampunk-inspired redesign of the TARDIS, encompassing its exterior form, interior detailing, and animated storyboards alongside animations produced using Mental Canvas. As part of her undergraduate degree show, Izzy's initial exploration of Blender was somewhat rudimentary, yet this project profoundly ignited her passion and enthusiasm for visual effects.
Concert Lighting Simulation
Grand MA2 | 2023
Using the GrandMA2 lighting software, starting from building fixture profiles and setting up the lighting layout in MA 3D, Izzy designed and programmed each cue with precision. By synchronizing lighting transitions with the rhythm of the music through manual control, she demonstrated strong proficiency in operating the GrandMA lighting console and is capable of independently designing lighting for stage and concert productions.
