BFA Student

Major: Textile & Fashion Design

Graduation Year: 2020


Artist Statement:

My goal is to make garments that can help women who struggle with their own body type and body shaming within their costume community. I want to make costumes that have more conventional clothing sizes and comfortable fabrics for those long convention or event hours. By giving plus size women an alternative to manufactured costumes they will feel more confident, comfortable and powerful when they cosplay.
