    Alyssa Axen

    Alyssa Axen is a Scottish Cosplayer who has been cosplaying for over 10 years, and holds a Degree in Costume Design and Making. They compete competitively and love to focus on performance and acting as much as the construction of costumes. They are especially interested in fitting + patterning, hand-sewing and storytelling through design choices and they always aim to keep learning more new things with every costume to push themselves as a crafter. They adore the act of making a cosplay just as much as wearing it and getting to be the character they love.
