Robert Eggers freelances as a designer for film, television, commercials, theater and dance. Eggers has designed and created sets, costumes, wigs, puppets and more for Sesame Street, Comedy Central, AT&T, Sharp, Johnson & Johnson, Pantene, Chipotle, at Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, La MaMa E.T.C. and many others. 

Eggers grew up in the theater and has been a working designer and director since the age of 17, honing his passion and facility for transporting an audience to the world of fairytales, dreams, ghost stories and the forgotten past.  As a director, Eggers has staged many classics including Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet and Othello (for which he won a NY Innovative Theatre Award for his costume design), an original stage adaptation Murnau’s Nosferatu, and a Victorian street-circus reimagining of Faust.  Eggers’ first short film was a expressionist adaptation of Hansel & Gretel, followed by his award-winning The Tell-Tale Heart. The atmospheric film combined live action performances with hyper-realistic puppetry. It was an official selection at many major international festivals and markets from Los Angeles to Krakow, premiering at Mar Del Plata.  Eggers is currently in development with his first feature, a horror film set in 1630s New England.
