Events — Carmilla Jo

Carmilla Jo is a professional, courteous, and wonderful cosplayer to work with. Not only did she show up on time, she reviewed all requested documentation before the event and acted with decorum and professionalism that isn't common in onsite cosplay staff. Not only is her cosplay craft impeccable, but she engages with the community in such a way that fans are instantly comfortable with her. It takes a special kind of human to not only make the costume to the level she did, but onsite bring an energy that amplified our event. Carmilla was a joy to work with for our League of Legends Worlds 2022 finals and if another event ever came up again- we would hire her in a second. We highly recommend working with her at any large cosplay event.

Riot Games
We’ve worked with Carmilla Jo multiple times over the years, and she has always been a joy to have on our team. With every gig, whether it’s staffing for the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, cosplaying at the Love Nikki @ Anime Expo Midsummer Night’s Dress Up Party, or walking the Knights of the Zodiac red carpet Hollywood premiere, she has always represented cosplayers with professionalism and charismatic decorum. As long as we keep having roles and gigs that she’s a great fit for, we’ll keep having her back!

American Cosplay Paradise
In the course of working with Jo on the show another opportunity came up to work on a marketing promotion with a Japanese software company. A modeling agency I work with overseas asked me to cast spokesmodels for a domestic game launch. Jo was immediately one of the models I thought of for this gig. Jo was punctual, professional, and engaging. I received nothing but compliments for her work on this project. I would not hesitate to work with Jo whenever given the chance. She is a pleasure to have on the team.

Carmilla Jo was a phenomenal partner in our social media cosplay promotion for Stacey Lee’s young adult historical noir novel KILL HER TWICE. She exhibited utmost professionalism in her creative direction and expertise, from sourcing audio and scouting film locations to styling her outfit and planning shots. We also appreciated that she posited thoughtful follow-up questions to our creative brief, to ensure that she was aligned with our brand expectations and goals for her content. Her resulting content perfectly captured the Old Hollywood glam and noir aesthetic that we envisioned, and she also created ample content to provide us with plenty of choices for our campaign. We’d recommend her to any brand seeking a cosplay professional, and look forward to collaborating with her on future partnerships!
