Welcome to my little spot on the internet! I am an author, award winning cosplay artist, and a sewing educator who focus’ heavily on couture and historical sewing techniques. I love making gothic inspired gowns, costumes from media and history, as well as my making garments for my very own wardrobe.

My Story

My journey started in the summer of 2013 where I just wanted to be a superhero! I bought an $80 machine and a pile of fabric, I had no clue what I was doing but I just went to town! After that first costume I fell in love and continued to learn and develop my sewing skills.

My journey in cosplay competitions started locally in Chicago and the Indiana area and quickly I expanded my competition experiences to Atlanta, Phoenix, and then to California where I won the Best in Show prize at Twitchcon 2018! From there I started judging high level competitions like Twitchcon and the Crown Championships of Cosplay. In 2020 I launched my educational sewing YouTube Channel . In 2021 I started teaching hands on courses for cosplay. My first educational sewing book, Cosplay Foundations, came out in the summer of 2022 and this was the same year that I launched my online courses.

My goal as a costume and sewing artist is to inspire and educate creators of all things.
