Hello! My name is Meaghan, aka May Jean Cosplay.
I’m a Korean-American cosplayer from Washington State. Outside of my profession as a cardiovascular-specialized nurse (MSN, RN, CCRN-CMC), I am a passionate mixed-media artist/costume maker. I made my first costume 21 years ago, back in 2005, but I have enjoyed challenging myself with more complex projects over the years. My work is inspired by video games, anime, TV/film, pop culture, and historical fashion.
Most of my craftsmanship experience has been focused on fabrication, sewing, and painting, but I’ve experimented with many skill sets: EVA foam, thermoplastics, hand embroidery, fiber arts, electronics (LEDs and animatronics), mold-making and casting, 3D modeling and printing, leathercraft, metalwork (blacksmithing and silversmithing), shoemaking, some glasswork, and more. I consider myself a generalist and love to dive into new learning experiences whenever possible. At my core, I love making extremely clean and precise pieces that last for years of wear.
For the past 10 years, I have grown to become an experienced Master-level craftsmanship and performance competitor. I’ve had the honor of competing and judging in many cosplay and craftsmanship competitions at this point! Check out my Resume for a complete list of placements and events I’ve been a part of.
Due to my passion for sharing knowledge and enthusiasm with the community, I’ve spoken on numerous panels at major events like C2E2, ECCC, NYCC, RCCC, Sakura-Con, GeekGirlCon, and more to come. Topics have ranged from cosplay sportsmanship, cosplay competitions, various art and craftsmanship topics, and more.
Keep an eye on my Blog for upcoming adventures and build logs!
