Hello, my name is Sam Walsh. Born and raised in Massachusetts I discovered my passion to build costumes when I attended my first Anime Boston convention in 2013.

 

Amazed by the armor and weapons some cosplayers could make I went home with a determination to build my own. I picked it up and put it down until I fell in love with creation and at the end of Highschool realized that I could do just that as a career. 

 

I suddenly jumped into the search for an art college where I could get experience working with materials, tools, and machines unavailable to me at home. My search led me to SCAD, an art college in Atlanta Georgia which has a sculpture department that offers everything I was looking for and more.

 

I am currently finishing up my first year here at SCAD Atlanta, I have much more to learn and hopefully one day I will be building armor and weapons for film, but who knows where life will take me. All I know is I'm excited.
