Drem Yol Lok!
I’m Sam Geist (she/her), a professional cosplayer, artist, and propmaker based in sunny Central Florida, USA. I have been cosplaying and making props since 2014, when I was inspired to start by famous prop artists and my favorite video game, Skyrim.

I’m currently available for corporate commissions and convention appearances!
