About Emma Kaufman

Emma Kaufman is a Portland-based costume designer and cosplayer. She works full time doing freelance cosplay commissions for events including Comic and Anime conventions as Saffronian Cosplay. While she is ready to tackle pretty much any projects, her favorite costumes to make are historically inspired or anything particularly ridiculous. For commission inquiries, she can be contacted via her email as well as any of her social media. “Saf” can also be found roaming around most local Pop-Culture conventions in the PNW, and occasionally hosting a panel!

Though Emma mainly focuses on cosplay nowadays, she also designs and creates for theatre. She graduated from Cornish College of the Arts in May 2017 and completed a Stitching/Dressing apprenticeship at the Santa Fe Opera in Summer 2017. While attending Cornish, she was one of the Co-Costume Designers for Argonautika in the Cornish Playhouse in Fall 2016, as well as being one of the costume designers for Cornish Dance Theater Spring 2016. She has also assistant costume designed for Quixote (2015) and Grand Hotel (2015), as well as assisting outside of Cornish for Annex Theatre's Puny Humans (2016).
