Costume Maker

Becky is a costume maker with a lifelong passion for creating. She began building costumes as a child and launched her professional career managing a costume rental in Utah County. She later studied Theater Costuming and Family and Consumer Sciences with a sewing emphasis at Southern Utah University. After graduating, her family relocated to rural Nevada, where she has spent more than 25 years designing and selling custom Halloween costumes.

 

In 2014, Becky entered the world of cosplay and quickly embraced the creative challenges it offers. She selects projects that push her skills and allow her to continue learning. She has competed and been awarded in several cosplay contests at the Master level, paying it forward by judging several more. Alongside decades of experience as a seamstress, she works with materials such as Worbla, foam, sculpting media, electronics, and lighting to bring her visions to life. She is also a traditional artist.

 

Becky lives with her husband, Justin, a history and English teacher and poet, their three sons, and two cats.
