Steve’s journey took him from a shy child to working at The Jim Henson Creature Shop, creating puppets for Labyrinth, designing new characters, and producing merchandise for Fraggle Rock. He later ran his own freelance business, creating puppets, props, and effects for companies including BBC, Hornby, 20th Century Fox, and Pinewood Studios.

Alongside the fun and creativity, Steve also shares the challenges he faced, including stress and a breakdown, and how Longfield Community Hospice helped him through it.
