I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and have always loved building things. My passion for creating started at a young age, though I didn’t get to work alongside my dad until later in life due to his long work hours. My mom, however, always encouraged me, telling me I could do anything I set my mind to.
My journey into cosplay began when I built my first costume for a friend—an Optimus Prime (Gen 1). While he loved it, I knew I could do better, which set me on a path of constant improvement.
As a lifelong fan of Halo, I was inspired to create my own Master Chief armor. That’s when I discovered 3D printing and became hooked on the process of designing, printing, and perfecting each piece. I love the challenge of preparing armor files before printing and then finishing each part to look as realistic as possible.
