Vinburnham

Vinilla "Vin" Burnham is a costume and puppet designer. She designed costumes of - and helped create - the Boohbahs in Boohbah.

Before working on Boohbah, Burnham worked as a freelance animatronic and Muppet designer for the Jim Henson Creature Shop. She did several sorts of puppets for The Dark Crystal, Dinosaurs, Labyrinth, the live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films, and the BBC's The Chronicles of Narnia. She also designed the Batman, Catwoman, and Penguin costumes for 1992's Batman Returns.

In an article printed in a 2003 issue of The Stage, she admitted that the Boohbahs were the most unique costumes she had made by then:

Those costumes are very original, unlike anything I have made before. I am lucky because a lot of the costumes I make are different from anything made by anyone else.

She currently runs the Little Costume Shop, an online store with wedding, ballet, and stage costumes made by her.
