Cosplay Guesting
I have had the pleasure of being a guest at numerous events, where I not only showcase my cosplays but actively engage with fans and fellow enthusiasts. These experiences have allowed me to connect with diverse audiences, sharing insights into my creative process, offering tips and tricks for aspiring cosplayers, and fostering a sense of community.Judging, Coordinating, and Emceeing
My involvement in cosplay competitions goes beyond participation. I've had the honor of judging both children's and adult cosplay competitions. My empathetic approach to understanding the effort that goes into each cosplay ensures a fair and encouraging atmosphere in competitions. Coordinating and emceeing such events have further deepened my understanding of the logistics involved, ensuring that each competition runs smoothly and is an enjoyable experience for both participants and spectators.Convention Coordination and Programming
My commitment to enhancing the convention experience extends to behind-the-scenes roles. I have valuable experience in coordinating conventions and developing engaging programming. This includes producing hours of diverse and entertaining content for events like Wizard World, Fan Expo Dallas, and Soonercon. Whether it's crafting schedules, organizing panels, or ensuring that every aspect of the event aligns with the expectations of attendees, I take pride in contributing to the success of these events.Collaboration and Community Building
My passion for community building is evident not only in my costuming but also in my efforts to create inclusive and vibrant spaces within conventions. By coordinating events and programming, I aim to bring fans together, fostering an environment where everyone feels welcomed and celebrated.
About
Hey there!I'm Lauren, the creative force behind Stellae Cosplay. I'm a professional cosplayer from Central Oklahoma. With over 11 years in the cosplay community, I strive to be more than a cosplayer; I'm a storyteller, a crafter, and I fight to be a force for positive change.From the delicate touch of sewing to the intricate artistry of foam work, 3D modeling, and printing, my skill set is varied and I am always eager to learn new skills. I take pride in crafting both handmade costumes and curated bought cosplays.Beyond the sewing machine and hot glue, I am also well-experienced in convention production. My years of experience as a guest, convention planner, and promoter for conventions across multiple states aid in my commitment to fostering an inclusive and accommodating environment.Both in costume and out I channel my passions into making a positive impact through non-profit work. I use my platform to spotlight causes close to my heart. Being the youngest person on the executive board of Heroic Inner Kids, it has been amazing to bring joy and necessary resources and assistance to children and adults alike. My belief in the transformative power of cosplay extends beyond conventions, reaching into communities and shining a light on issues that matter.Join me on this journey where every stitch, every event, and every advocacy effort contribute to a world where cosplay is not just an art form but a community that cares.
