Alison "Birbz" is a New Jersey local cosplayer, Vtuber, and content creator. Alison actively streams on Twitch and posts Vtubing and Cosplay related content.
Over the past ten years, Alison has created 20+ cosplay costumes winning multiple awards and has attended over 20 events as a cosplay Guest and/or Judge. She brings a high quality eye for detail, foam expertise, production and stage knowledge, and an infectious positive attitude.
Since a young age, Alison was infatuated with game worlds and its variety of unique characters. While attending community college for art, Alison discovered a new creative outlet that would change her life forever.
Since the start of her cosplay career in 2013, she has appeared at events such as the Overwatch League Grand Finals and Fan Expo Philadelphia. Alison has won multiple awards for cosplay craftsmanship and cosplay Masquerade performances. She hopes that her content and social presence will inspire others to create cosplay as a creative outlet and help everyone discover their inner geek.
Alison started her professional cosplay career attending Overwatch League events in 2018 when she was invited to the Grand finals at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Since then, she has been an invited guest at multiple Overwatch league events including Fusion Homestands, The OWL Grand Finals in Philadelphia in 2019, and the digital Grand Finals this past year. Also in 2020, Alison became an officially sponsored cosplayer of the (formerly) Philadelphia Fusion Esports Team.
Afterwards, Alison started attending by guesting at conventions in the NJ and Greater Philadelphia area. As her expierience increased, she was invited back as guest at multiple Overwatch league events including Fusion Homestands, The OWL Grand Finals in Philadelphia in 2019, and the Digital finals. Alison became an officially sponsored cosplayer of the (formerly) Philadelphia Fusion Esports Team in 2020. Alison attended her third and final Overwatch League Grand event in 2022, where she was flown out to Anaheim California to attend the finals and visit the Blizzard campus.
All of her experience culminated in 2023 when Alison was a Cosplay guest at Fan Expo Philadelphia on the year of her 10 year Anniversary. (Alison Debuted her first cosplay ever 10 years ago at Wizard World Philly, which is now Fan Expo. Cool right?)
