Gigi's Bio

As a child, I loved dressing up and performing.  My first Halloween costume was Superman. In my early 20s, I discovered cosplay through Yaya Han, and it became my passion.

I turned my love for acting into a career, starting as a party princess and eventually launching my own company.  For my 24th birthday, I wanted to go as Poison Ivy.  Since I couldn’t find a costume I loved, I made my own, spending over 20 hours hand gluing ivy leaves onto a corset and bikini bottom. When I finally wore it, I fell in love with the result.  It was even better than I imagined.  That’s when I knew I wanted to continue cosplaying.

When I’m not cosplaying, I co-host the Con Culture podcast, spend time with family, and unwind with books, baking, and cooking. Need help with a sourdough starter? I’m your person!

I’m excited for many more years of doing what I love. Thank you!
