Alden Hegger (mostly known as Aldi) began their theatre career in middle school as an actor. Back then they had a hobby on the side as a cosplayer. It was not until college (Arkansas State University, BA 2016) that those two worlds collided and Aldi found a real interest in making costumes for the stage.

Aldi has just graduated from Boston University with a Master’s of Fine Arts in Costume Production! They’re working on dedicating a page of this website to their master’s thesis.

In the theatre world, they’ve been a stitcher, draper, crafts artisan, dresser, makeup artisan, and even props artisan. When not focusing on theatre or school, Aldi is active in the cosplay community across the country, and will even build cosplays on commission.
