Anime NYC invited me as a cosplay guest to judge their 2025 Cosplay Masquerade, display a costume in their Cosplay Exhibition, and host a meet and greet. I was officially announced in March of 2024 with the con taking place the following August.

I was honored to be alongside fellow judges Hoku Props, who made the trophy for the competition, and Plexi Cosplay. They are two highly skilled veteran creators that I deeply admire and was very fortunate to work with them in my first ever judging role! I gave my Judge’s Award to the amazing Meipan as Tsukasa Suou for her incredible patternmaking skills.

.Anime NYC is a cornerstone in the New York cosplay community and I’m excited to have had the experience of judging and guesting at such a prestigious event with many passionate contestants.

Special thanks to Kirsty, Alex, and Katie for making it happen!
