Ammar Sabban

I'm the creative talent and puppeteer behind all 31 Workshop characters and a professional Puppeteer and Creative Director.

I previously worked as an architectural department director, a design architect and a lead landscape architect.

A seasoned designer, creative consultant and motivational speaker, with 13+ years of experience, specialized in creative design solutions with combined local and international expertise in the fields of urban, architectural, and graphic design.

I worked on a variety of projects that include but are not limited to: Corporate Identities, architectural developments, Branding & Packaging, Campaigns, and Media Production. Currently Ammar’s main focus areas are: Creative Writing, Puppet Design and Puppeteering.

I grew up with a passion for puppets and wanted to one day create the same magic I saw from the great Jim Henson on TV through the Muppet Show and Sesame street, wishing to one day inspire and entertain my own community the same way I was.

However, that's not a common career that one can be trained in living in Saudi Arabia let a lone get a job. So I became a Design Architect, and after 11 years of experience in architecture, I decided to follow my dream. So in 2013 I quit my job and became a freelance creative consultant to support my family and started to work on building my career as a puppeteer.
