Dillon

Mace Nelson

Born in a tiny town in Northeast Georgia, Dillon spent his childhood creating secret worlds, imagining characters, and using his creativity to connect to the world around him.

​

Based in Los Angeles, Dillon is a collaborative artist, designer, and
multi-hyphenate creative who centers story in all of his work.

​

With over 15 years working in film, design, education, and museums,
Dillon has acquired a wide range of skills that help him soar as a
visual storyteller, director, designer, and performer. Dillon is an Ovation Award winner for Set Design and Ovation Honors recipient for Puppet Design.

​

Dillon is also the Associate Director of Noah’s Ark and Family Programming at the Skirball Cultural Center, bringing joy and learning through art and culture - including puppetry!

Lately, he has been excited to make a return to puppetry and loves creating immersive and interactive experiences. Look for him as a performer at Dragon Con 2026 and at the National Puppetry Slam in Atlanta, Georgia!
