Lochlan O’Neil got her humble beginnings in the pop culture community in 2012 when she attended her first convention in a simple and quickly conceived version of Pinkie Pie from the series that would eventually put her on the map as a cosplayer – My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. Lochlan fell head-over-heels in love with cosplay soon after. It was not just due to being captivated by the delightful and imaginative costumes she saw, but also because of the camaraderie, kindness, and love she was shown by other attendees. This love of cosplay led Lochlan to get her Fashion Design degree and has given her the opportunity to travel all around the world.

As a designer, Lochlan has designed and created costumes and props for numerous haunted attractions, short films, tv pilots, live shows, and private commissioners. Lochlan currently works as a costume designer and wig stylist for a major theme park, where she’s lucky enough to use her cosplay skills on a daily basis.
