I’m Manzi.
I am a special effects fabricator, costumer, and spokesmodel.
After a brief bout of modeling with LA Models, I attended Otis College of Art and Design to study concept art and illustration.
While in school I took an increasing interest in costume design. I found creating costumes and props to be more satisfying than illustration. Over the next few years, I began to develop my skills. I have since honed in on prop and costume design as my true passion in life. I’ve recently entered the world of professional prop fabrication and I am really enjoying it. I truly love what I do, and hopefully you will too!
All costumes on this site were made and modeled by myself unless otherwise noted.
I’m sorry, but I do not take personal costume commissions!
I am however available for freelance costume work for established companies.
I am available for and experienced with both sponsorships and booth work.
I am currently represented by Apotheosis Agency.

Please see the Costume gallery here on my website for an extended version of my portfolio.
I am also available for freelance modeling. Having done professional modeling in the past, I am experienced and comfortable in front of the camera. If you are a photographer interested in shooting me or one of my costumes, please contact me!
Measurements and sizing info available upon request.
I am willing to travel if travel expenses are paid. Anything within Los Angeles, or the immediate area will not require this.
I will consider TFP/TFCD/trade work, however please understand I will only accept if it fits within my schedule!
