About Me
Raised in a family full of creative types, Katie Starr has been in costume for most of her life between dance recitals and some amazing Halloween costumes made by her mother.
Katie attended the University of Akron and earned a degree in Art Education, as well as a Master’s degree in Secondary Education. She began making historical costumes in 2003 and many years later began cosplaying. Though Katie makes the majority of her costumes and props from scratch from self-taught techniques, she believes strongly in helping those wishing to pursue costuming by not only providing detailed tutorials on her blog and encouraging everyone to costume in whatever way possible.
Katie works out of Akron, Ohio and also works full time as an art teacher. She attends conventions all over the country to share her love of costuming and all things nerdy. She lives with her two cats, Olive and Rory, who work endlessly to make all cosplay plans more difficult than they need to be.
