From childhood, Bigimotik has loved crafting, especially textile arts. Draping, patterning, tailoring, finishing, embroidery, beading, and dye work are the skills she most likes to dive into when working on a costume, in addition to papercraft like calligraphy and book binding.
She has also dabbled in thermoplastic, sculpting, resin, 3D printing, and foam-smithing to complement or accessorize garments. In her spare time, she helps her husband paint tiny details on miniature figures and terrain.
Bigimotik is happiest working on designs for a performance and/or that have a lot of historical influence.
