Biography

Momo Kariño Cosplay (formerly known as Momo Kurumi) is a veteran cosplayer, seamstress, artist, and designer,

who strives to spread happiness and inspiration to all! Initially starting off in cosplay by buying her first few costumes, she later learned to craft her own, and went on to earn a Bachelor's of Science in Apparel Design. Her experience

as a seamstress ranges from theater, to fashion, parades, theme parks, alterations, commissions, manufacturing, and even bridal! She also has worked as an illustrator, graphic artist, technical designer, and lead pattern maker.

Momo has won numerous awards for her creations, and has served as a craftsmanship judge at several cons like Anime Central, Anime St. Louis, and more! She has also worked with brands such as Funimation, Viz Media, Neopets, and Purple Plum Wigs. Her experience at Disney Parks as a stores hostess, and later, entertainment costumer, brings a world-class level of engaging, upbeat interaction, which she still practices in her professional and personal life.
