Harmony Iris Cosplay, a member of Crackle's Cousin Cosplay, has been winning Best in Show with her sisters since early childhood. As a cosplayer of Anime, Video Games, MLP, Ren Faires and various genres, she has costuming in her blood. Her mastery of all techniques and diversity in costuming comes with a love for all things nerd. Halloween is a month long holiday for her and she also does horror SFX makeup artistry. A graphic designer and photographer by profession, her love for all things artsy manifests into reality through costume creation. You'll also see her as various mascots including EFNW's Novella.
