Background

About Ava Luman

My name is Ava and I am a freelance costume technician and cosplayer. I began learning to sew at a very young age and used clothing as a way to express my artistic interests. In high school and college I became a part of the theatre department and discovered the joys of working as a team to achieve a common goal, that being to entertain others. Even though I graduated in 2012 I still study both independently and through occupational classes with the Pima College Fashion Department. When it comes to a skill I feel like one is never finished learning. There is always something new and interesting out there to learn. When not sewing professionally I am building a personal portfolio of Cosplay based on characters from movies, TV series, and video games. I like to use these costumes as a way of challenging myself and reinforcing what I have learned. Once I feel confident in a spicific skill I like to produce a tutorial video that I will then post onto Youtube. For me learning and creativity go hand in hand. Through my creativity I learn more and add to my skill set and through learning more techniques I fuel my creativity.
