Elle Wilburn
Since 2001, Elle has been among costume creators in the cosplay scene. She is an aspiring mechanical engineer and graphic design student. She is a member of The FanDames, a group of female cosplayers that volunteer their time at conventions to fix and repair costumes. A self taught seamstress, Elle has a plethora of knowledge in the sewing world. Her hope has been to expand her creative horizons by joining forces with not only FanDames but also Ebon Legion, a leather working group. She loves all the different branches of crafting; whether it be graphic design, shop, sewing, and leather work. Elle hopes to bring her expertise and passion for creating to the Mixxer’s students.
