Cosplayer, Writer, and Photographer in Portland, Oregon

My name is Krystal, but the internet world knows me better as Sumikins. I've been cosplaying since 2002, and am an experienced competitive cosplayer, cosplay judge, event coordinator, panelist, and fledgling photographer. I specialize in sewing/needlework, small crafts, low-tech creation, and stage performance.

I have represented the USA at three international competitions (WCS 2010, CICAF 2017, and C4 2019) and, along with my cosplay partner Rynn, have placed second overall at two of them. From 2019 - 2024 I held the position of Cosplay Coordinator for SakuraCon in Seattle, WA, and am currently open to new opportunities. The best way to learn more about me and my work is to check out my website or Instagram.

My current Creative Projects include archival photography of all of my old costumes in a studio display setup, as well as working on various costumes from my stash, and preparing for my next big Competition efforts.
