Panels and Workshops
In the world outside of the con walls I have taught sewing and costuming at an arts magnet high school for 8 years. Over those years, I have used many non-traditional materials in my theatrical designs and I teach others how to do the same, whether they want to or not.
As a Panelist I try to bring useful information so that individuals can make informed decisions and think for themselves in tough crafting situations. I try to engage with my attendees with humor and energy. I also focus on sharing space and time with other panelists to give the attendees the most useful experience.
Here are Con panels and workshops I have facilitated in the past:
-
It is Just Too Big: Logistics of a Big Cosplay Build
-
Cosplay and Mental Health
-
Burger King Your Cosplay (Make it Your Way)
-
Pattern Manipulation 101
-
Cosplay and Research
-

-
What to Expect in Craftsmanship Judging
-
Slopers and how they work (Hands-On Workshop)
Craftsmanship Judging
I am known primarily for my attention to detail, and creatively adding elements to my cosplay to enhance the character design. When it comes to cosplay and design, I hope, this gives me a unique perspective for a cosplay judge. I enjoy encouraging all levels to reach for their dreams and not to sit on their strengths, but to keep pushing and learning new skills.
In the judging room, I like to see a competitor whose work is clean and thinks creatively to solve the unique challenges that cosplay provides. I’m looking for a cosplayer who is not afraid to take big leaps and stretch themselves, but still pays attention to finishing, proportions and overall look. It might not necessarily be about how much they look like the character but rather, how the cosplay fits them. I would be honored to share my expertise and critical eye with your attendees.
