She has been an avid cosplayer since 2011, having discovered cosplay in her junior year of college. Early into her hobby, she decided to learn how to make her own costumes, as many of her favorite characters were not available to purchase online. Through hard work, determination and the help of her cosplay friends, Mikomi learned how to create beautiful costumes from comics, anime, video games, television, and movies.
Mikomi continues to want to improve her art, and she has completed a formal leatherwork and woodwork apprenticeship under Dr. Mark Conley. Mikomi has been learning how to make armor and weapons for theater and reenactment purposes. Through the encouragement of her mentor, she opened her own costume design and fabrication business where she designs and creates costumes for clients all over the world.
Mikomi’s cosplays have received acclaim both in and outside of the convention circuit. She has won multiple awards for both craftsmanship and performance in masquerades, and her costumes have been featured in newspapers, magazines, art galleries, television shows and multiple geek and pop-culture websites. She has worked as a booth cosplayer for several geek and cosplay companies and is currently sponsored as a content creator and costume designer for the E-sports apparel company, RE: Activ Designs. Mikomi has a passion for teaching the next generation of cosplayers and has led panels on different cosplay topics from how to get involved in cosplay, to leatherwork and many things in between at conventions from Chicago to South Carolina to New Jersey. She loves leading panels and workshops at conventions, and she tries to fit as much educational content as she can into each one of her cosplay panels.

ELIZABETH MAXWELL is an accomplished actress and life-long lover of all things geek, so when she began a career in voice over that veered strongly into the genres of animation and video games, it seemed a match made in heaven!

She made her debut in the dubbing world on the hit anime series Attack on Titan (Ymir) and soon after took on the most recent incarnation of The Major in Ghost in the Shell: Arise (Motoko Kusanagi). Other popular anime titles include Noragami (Bishamon), RWBY (Winter Schnee), Soul Eater Not! (Shaula Gorgon), Fairy Tail (Jenny Realight), One Piece (Shakuyaku), and Nobunagun (Cyx).

She has also worked extensively in games, including Warner Bros. Lego Marvel’s Avengers (Jane Foster/Thor), Gearbox’s Battleborn (Phoebe), Obsidian Entertainment’s Skyforge (Ianna), Robot Entertainment’s Orcs Must Die! Unchained (Zoey the Chaotic Apprentice), Cloud Imperium’s Star Citizen (Anvil Aerospace AI), Infinitap Games’ Neverending Nightmares (Gabby), and S2 Games’ Strife (Lady Tinder).

You can find Elizabeth’s voice AND face on such TV shows as Criminal Minds, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, and Lost Tapes, and in the big screen psychological thriller A Perfect Getaway.

Elizabeth’s body of work earned her a nomination for “Breakthrough Voice Actress of the Year” from Behind the Voice Actors (2014), and “Best Female Lead Vocal Performance” for Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie (2015). Look for her in LeSean Thomas’s (Legend of Kora, Black Dynamite, The Boondocks) new original anime Cannon Busters later this summer as the outdated, but irrepressible maintenance droid Casey Turnbuckle and the smart-ass, sexy assassin Tiephoyd.

When she’s not behind a mic, Elizabeth enjoys super hero training (aka kickboxing and stunt fighting), watching John Carpenter movies, reading fantasy novels, and planning for the zombie apocalypse.
