“I have been cosplaying for over 8 years. I used to work as a 3D artist before becoming a graphic designer. My broad interests have helped me learn a lot about different materials and techniques. Whether it’s sewing, 3D printing, patterns, EVA, or leather, I always try to expand my skills in all areas. I love sharing my knowledge with others and enjoy attending conventions in different countries, contributing to the global cosplay community.”
