I am a Texas-based cosplayer for the last 6 years and have won several awards including best-in-show and class. I love creating things using my hands to see where my imagination and inspiration can take me. I enjoy the challenge of learning new skills to make my creations come to life. The challenge of building elaborate armor projects in hopes of bringing the characters to life brings so much joy in crafting each piece. While I love the challenge, I will never forget that there is always failure before succeeding. One of my favorite quotes is “The difference between the novice and the master is that the master has failed more times than the novice has tried.”
