As Creative Director for Empire 6 LARP,I led the conceptual and practical development of all actor’s costumes, set design, and visuals within the world. Shaping the visual identity of a newly launched sci-fi-fantasy immersive world tasked me with building a cohesive and striking wardrobe across a wide range of characters and factions, combining the use of various skill sets to create props and pairing that with tailored garments to create distinctive, story-rich silhouettes that supported gameplay immersion and character readability.

The project began with narrative-driven worldbuilding and faction development, from which visual style guides were created for each species and factions. I oversaw and personally executed the creation of the props and costumes utilizing heat-shaping, carving, and layering techniques to give texture and dimensionality to each character's gear. Custom painting and weathering added depth, realism, and hints of in-universe history.
Working closely with Tara, our sewing lead, and the plot team we designed and constructed layered textile elements that ranged from rugged utilitarian garb to ornate ceremonial robes. Garments were tailored for mobility, quick changes, and durability under active conditions, while color palettes and fabric choices reinforced faction identities.
