ABOUT TIMMY

It started with
a bedtime story.

Before the books, the school tours, the podcasts and the companies, Timmy was an eighteen-year-old trying to make his four-year-old brother laugh.

The story
before the business.

Timmy began writing and illustrating Billy the Dragon as a way to connect with his little brother, Tristan. Night after night, he tested the story against the most honest audience imaginable: a four-year-old. Could he make him laugh? Could he create suspense? Could he make the next page impossible to resist?

That experience shaped a conviction that still guides his work: children learn through stories only when the stories are entertaining enough to earn their attention.

As an actor and puppeteer for the Walt Disney Company, Timmy learned storytelling in real time—watching what holds an audience, what loses one and what makes a moment memorable.

THE BUILDER
