Leslee Asch

Leslee Asch (also credited as Leslie Asch) was employed by Jim Henson as part of the New York Muppet Workshop beginning in the late 1970s. Most notably, she built Elmo and Boober Fraggle.
Because of her very solid knowledge of world puppet history, she was recruited to be part of The Jim Henson Foundation, whose function is "to promote and develop the art of puppetry in the United States." She remains with the foundation as a board member.
