In their smidge of spare time, they are also a production designer, art director, makeup FX artist, and wig and makeup designer for film, television, and opera. They are the creator and coproducer of the super successful three-year-old performance art rave GODDESS—the first monthly show in Chicago herstory that celebrates and spotlights female, non-binary, and trans drag queens at Berlin Nightclub. This year, they were the first person assigned female at birth to perform drag on national television when they were cast in Fox's Proven Innocent. They also placed in the top three in Alaska 5000's first ever Drag Queen of the Year Pageant.
