About Phia
My name is Sophia, and I’m a cosplayer.
I started my costuming journey six years ago and have loved every minute of it. I enjoy creating intricate costumes and bringing characters to life by being creative and having fun. I am based in Seattle and attend conventions in both Seattle and Portland annually.
My costumes are a mix of thrifted, hand-made, altered, and store-bought. I love to add my own spin to a character by experimenting with different makeup techniques, trying out new wig styles, and adding extra details wherever I can. I strive to bring to life the connection I feel to a fictional character.
Along with costuming, I enjoy snow skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer, swimming whenever I get the chance, and going on adventures.
Costuming has pushed me to grow in many ways, and I’m thankful for the challenges it has presented me. Having to stretch my brain to problem solve the diverse puzzles each costume presents keeps me on my toes. I love a good challenge, and combining my organizational skills with a little creative magic (and some hot glue) keeps me excited about what the future holds.
Life should never be taken too seriously, so why not become a fictional character for a day?
