I am deeply committed to collaborating with reputable brands to promote products and resources that hold significant value for the cosplay and making community. Over the past decade, I have conducted workshops, demonstrations, and lectures at numerous events, and have forged partnerships with various brands to generate content and enhance brand recognition through purposeful and impactful interaction. My content creation approach revolves around prioritizing quality over quantity, upholding safe practices, and promoting transparency in the utilization of techniques and processes.

Workshops, Demos & Speaking Engagements
I love hosting skill-building workshops and demos, presenting panels, participating in craftsmanship judging, autograph sessions, live interviews for podcasts and more! I've been a guest at many events, judged dozens of craftsmanship contests, and hosted many workshops and demos. You could say that I enjoy sharing my passion for creating with others! I would love to collaborate to bring something special to your event!
Workshops
Hands-on workshops are on the rise at conventions across the world! These classes are a great way to engage attendees and provide a unique and memorable experience at your event. Students focus on creating specific projects or learning a new skill. Material kits are provided for each student in most instances. Ticket fees cover materials and labor.

Maker Academy Workshops
I've partnered with Hoku Props to introduce a unique, high-quality workshop track that is available for your event! Incorporating workshop programming into a busy convention can be overwhelming, but we are here to simplify the process for you. We'll fully produce and organize the track, working with your event staff to curate a robust workshop lineup that your attendees will love.
Maker Academy Workshops offer top-notch instruction with quality materials and tools provided for each student, creating an immersive and meaningful learning environment. Small classes of 20 are the most popular and ensure that one-on-one instruction and guidance are possible.
We have successfully produced 15 hands-on workshops at Emerald City Comic Con (ReedPop) instructing over 280 attendees. We are currently developing a robust program for Rose City Comic Con (Leftfield Media). Please take a look at a sampling of workshops we offered at ECCC.

Demos
Demonstrations are an excellent way for attendees of all skill levels to watch and follow along as techniques and tools are used in real-time. These are extremely popular and are always well-attended. Classes can be large and free of charge, making this kind of teaching tool extremely accessible.
