Costume and Prop Making
I have been cosplaying and making/designing costumes since I was young, and love finding new ways to bring my favorite pieces of media to life. I love how multidisciplinary this art is, and for me cosplay and costume making is a great way to practice and explore new methods of fabrication and design. It has helped me hone my skills in physical prototyping, 3D modeling, sculpting, and more.
