About Me

Gina Wood, head costume designer and founder of JBICE has been sewing costumes since her wedding in 1997. Her interest in costuming was rekindled during the release of the Star Wars prequel films, whereupon she designed several custom costumes inspired by the Star Wars universe for her friends.

She became interested in anime cosplay in 2006 during her first visit to MTAC. She has always been an admirer of Asian culture, so the combination was a perfect match. Requests from friends have inspired costume commissions based upon Firefly, Assassin's Creed, and The Dark Knight. Future commissions based upon Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and the Steampunk genre will be featured here soon.
