Kelsey Michele, aka toughtink! _(she/her)

I'm a professional artist and hobbiest cosplayer who has been dabbling in the cosplay scene for over a decade now. I go by Kelsey, Kels, toughtink, or even just Tink online.

By day, I work mostly in the theme park industry designing attractions, experiences, and events. By night, you can find me hunched inside a corner of my craft room trying not to let the towering piles of fabric and other cosplay supplies overwhelm me. I also have a tendency to collect too many hobbies, including reading fantasy novels, playing video games, drawing and designing for my own personal projects, visiting theme parks, writing, learning to dance (badly), and, most recently, learning how to code a website. I have a lovely husband, without whom I'd never have been able to continue this hobby, and a perfect little mutt of a dog named Lemonade, who I dream of some day training to enjoy wearing cute doggy costumes.
