🌟 Evolve Team Spotlight - Gwen 🌟

Gwen is our Cosplay Coordinator for Evolve Pop Culture Expo 2026! 🎊

Hey there! I’m Gwen — your Cosplay Coordinator 😄 (aka Poison Peach), proud geek, certified weirdo, and crafting enthusiast with a love for SFX, sculpture, and all things a little bit creepy.

From cute to unsettling, I’m all about bringing characters, creatures, and props to life — the stranger, the better 🦥

This past year has been a fun challenge in getting creative with constraints — focusing on being more thrifty and cost-effective with my builds, without sacrificing impact. It’s pushed me to think smarter, refine my techniques, and level up through some exciting sculptural projects. Along the way, I’ve added a bunch of fun new characters to my cosplay lineup (because apparently I don’t know how to stop 😅).

Being part of Evolve continues to be such a highlight — getting to watch the Perth cosplay community grow, connect, and absolutely thrive is something special. The talent across WA, from cosplayers to artists and vendors, just keeps getting better every year.

I’m so excited for another year of creativity, chaos, and the unmatched energy of Evolve Pop Culture Expo 🙌
