About
Alyssa Hope Wise
Based in Los Angeles, CA
Alyssa is a freelance artist with a passion for SFX Makeup and Costume Fabrication, though she enjoys dabbling in a bit of everything! With a background in painting and 7+ years of experience in cosplay, pursuing a degree in SFX Makeup felt like the natural path to merge her skillset with her love of film and television.
Since completing her degree at Cinema Makeup School in 2021, Alyssa has worked on multiple indie films, commercials, industrial film productions, Universal Studio's Halloween Horror Nights, and even a creature demo at San Diego Comic Con. She has also partnered with large brands on social media (Amazon, Hot Topic, TiVo, DTS) to create costume/makeup content for various ad campaigns.
​
In her spare time, Alyssa enjoys sculpting and painting her own crafts to sell on Etsy, as well as tackling cosplay fabrication commissions.
