Accolades
Throughout my creative journey, I've been extremely fortunate to have had some truly amazing opportunities and accolades! Here are some notable collaborations that I'm forever grateful for!
Tomb Raider
Official Lara Croft Ambassador for Shadow of the Tomb Raider video game. This included cosplay showcase work, promotional events, and convention appearance for Square Enix/Crystal Dynamics.
CICAF
Became the first USA Team to represent in the China International Cartoon and Animation Festival (CICAF). I created a partnership with the event's leaders, signing a friendship and brotherhood agreement with them. This led to me becoming the organizer and manager for several years, for future USA Teams to attend CICAF.
Heroes of Cosplay
Part of the cast for Syfy channel's reality docu-series "Heroes of Cosplay" season 1.5. This included costume creation, acting/improv, and participating in costume contests across the US and Canada.
Marvel's Becoming
Created a Jean Grey cosplay for Marvel's YouTube docu-series "Marvel Becoming". This included an interview and costume-making process, as well as following me to Megacon Convention in Orlando, FL, to reveal and showcase the cosplay.

Cosplay Fabrics
For about 7 years, I worked for Cosplay Fabrics by Wyla, as part of their marketing team. This was the first line of its kind, so my expertise in cosplay and graphic design helped to helm marketing efforts in an extremely creative, inclusive, and cosplay-centric manner. This included tutorial videos for their YouTube channel, creative content creation for all their socials, and working with cosplayer influencers for promo work.
