Gnatty is a published Colorado based cosplayer and con worker. She’s a jack of all trades, knowing a little bit of everything in the cosplay realm, from sewing to 3d modeling; the laser cutter is her favorite tool. Gnatty grew up internationally, falling in love with creative arts at a young age. She has been working cons for about 8 years, doing everything from celebrity wrangling to (most often) running a vendor booth. It wasn’t until working a convention in Saudi Arabia in 2019 that she was I inspired to start cosplaying herself.
