Why Cosplay?

Since a young age, Alison was infatuated with game worlds and its variety of unique characters. Little did she know, cosplay would let her become those characters and pay homage to their likeness. While attending community college for art, Alison discovered a new creative outlet that would change her life forever. Cosplay has become a creative outlet for Alison to showcase her skills and meet other talented cosplayers and artists.

Now, Alison frequents East Coast conventions and appears as a Cosplay personality for local events and conventions. 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.
