Location:Grand rapids, Michigan

Costuming since: Been costuming and prop making on and off for about 9 years now.

About me: Always loved halo and grew up playing it since the release of the original halo, Which led me to going to school for 3D animation and game design, Which helped with allot of the skills I use in prop making!, my day job is a first responded and currently work on an ambulance, if your interested in more about that let me know! Very passionate about 3D modelling and Rendering as well. still a big gamer mainly playing halo on pc now, and really into space sim games like star citizen. I also just got into 3d printing and plan to get into mold making in the future, ive just started my 3D printing journey so im still very much a armature so any tips ill take!

Favorite Cons: Motor city comic-con, youma-con, grand rapids comic-con, and jafax are the main cons i have been to and are usually my go to! always looking for new cons or small events to go to!

Costumes/Props: So far ive finished a suit of ODST armor but it has since been retired since i out grew it(unfortunate side effect of time), ive also completed a M6C/SOCOM that im currently in the process of designing an upgrade for it using 3d printing!, ive also completed a Paz Visla helmet and a Commander Ganch helmet, Currently in the process of making a noble 5 Armor as well as his heavy machine gun, and have been building a spartan V armor in tandem with noble 5 as more of a practice armor as well to try some new techniques on.

Like Marinesniper said, it's nice to see more Michigan members coming in to mix. Can't wait to see your work

About Meh: I had to spend much of my younger life stuck indoors. Due to health issues and other things. Therefore i spent most of my life playing video games, reading, writing, drawing. The nerd bizz heh. Ever since the orig Xbox, I have always claimed and been a "Halo Girl". After discovering cosplay and the people and love behind it, as well as being able to mix it with my gaming and fantasy love. It's kinda become my world. I hope to be able to do many more and great things with cosplay and my love of Halo even more this year and beyond. Can't thank the people here who've already helped me work towards that dream enough!

Currently working on my Cortana as well! 2b (Nier: Automata), Raven (Justice League Comic vers.), Misa Amane (Deathnote), Wednesday Addams (Adult Vers.), Toga Himiko (MHA), Hinata Hyuga (Naruto Shippuden), BRS (Orig. OVA vers.), Nezuko Kamado (Demon Slayer, Aged up vers.}, Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach), as well as several OC's for things like DnD etc.
