Trash to Treasure: How We Started

As someone that had always been creative, Kyle was always looking for outlets to - quite simply - making things.

A self-described nerd, Kyle started making cosplays during COVID because he “ran out of furniture to make, and the world is ending - might as well do something I’ve wanted to do.”

The team’s grown in the last few years as Cosplays From Trash has guested, hosted cosplay contests, and won awards across the southeast.
