HI I’M LULU!

I’m a queer, disabled cosplayer on a mission to demystify masquerades!

In my 15 years in the hobby, I’ve crafted multiple award-winning performances (most recently at Anime Los Angeles 2024), judged competitions for over a decade, and staffed competitions like Crunchyroll-Hime’s Cosplay Cup. Between events, I make short-form content and host live streams to share my knowledge of what it takes to be a successful cosplay contest contestant and share insight into the judging process.

I currently live in Los Angeles, CA with my husband (yes, the stereotype of the bisexual woman marrying a golden retriever gamer boy is very real) and I’ve been working in the video games industry as a social media manager for nearly 6 years. My favorite color is green, if you couldn’t tell. :)

LET’S WORK TOGETHER!
