Hailing from the heart of Texas, I've immersed myself in the vibrant world of cosplay for the past 7 years, garnering numerous accolades, including coveted titles like Best-in-Show. With a passion for crafting, I revel in the art of bringing characters to life through intricate armor and sewing projects. Each piece I create is a testament to my dedication to mastering new skills and pushing the boundaries of my creativity. Embracing the mantra that failure is merely a stepping stone to success, I approach every challenge with resilience and determination. As I continue to evolve as a cosplayer, I remain inspired by the words: "The difference between the novice and the master is that the master has failed more times than the novice has tried."
