Original Design


Client Testimonial:

Recently Paul Moldovanos, and associates of the Clayman Studio created a fantastic monkey puppet for my company Monkey Doodles Play and Learn Ltd., a developmental learning center for toddlers. The monkey is life size with a body two feet long and arms, legs and tail of 3 feet long.

Paul went above and beyond what I expected. The product he created would melt any child’s heart. It is cute, soft, huggable and works perfectly for getting the kids into the activities of the day. This beautiful puppet came from Paul’s imagination and a rough picture of what I wanted the puppet to look like. The puppet is so great even the parents ask if they can play with it. From its eyes to its tail, it was well thought out and perfectly designed.

Paul’s communication and promptness made this process so easy and relaxing. He emailed pictures as the puppet was being created and he called with any questions he had. Paul also created little extra things for the puppet that I would never have thought of such as a sleeve for the puppet in case the kids would like to use him. This way the puppet would stay clean inside. He also put Velcro on the hands and feet of the puppet, not only so the puppet can hug someone but so that the little toddlers would not yank off it’s legs trying to hold it.

This experience has been extremely positive. I did not have to chase Paul to get things done. He did them quickly and efficiently. His communication was excellent and his ideas and final product were amazing. I would recommend Paul to anyone.
