I’m a costume/prop-maker and charity cosplayer living in Manhattan, Kansas. I pattern and sew costumes from scratch, modify and model then 3D print and paint armor and accessories, and recently began learning makeup and latex work. Sometimes I do buy components for my costume builds or an entire costume. I love to use my cosplay to create moments of real and spontaneous joy for people.
Over the past few years, I’ve discovered that I love cosplaying for charitable causes and I’ve been a member of the Just-Us League for about a year. I’m also seeking official membership in the Mandalorian Mercs, a Star Wars costume club specifically for Mandalorians.
ABOUT ME
MY MISSION
MAKE
I will make costumes and props 1) for myself.
2) for members of my cosplay teams (The Just-Us League, Mandalorian Mercs, etc.).
3) for children and families supported by the charities those cosplay teams partner with.
4) to sell to benefit those charities directly.
WEAR
I will appear at events in costume to
1) create unforgettable, joyful experiences for children and families from our charity partners.
2) fundraise for those charitable organizations.
3) get the word out about the groups I work with (The Just-Us League, Mandalorian Mercs, Charities, etc.) at comic and pop culture conventions.
SHARE
I will strive to have genuine, meaningful relationships with my charity cosplay peers, with the organizations I get the opportunity to work with, and with the families supported by those charities. I will be generous beyond peoples' expectations and use my support to create real joy to the best of my ability.
MY CHARITY COSPLAY PARTNERS
I volunteer to cosplay at no cost to charitable organizations, for charitable events shared by Planet Comicon, and to help promote Planet Comicon itself in the community.
