Yolainne, known by her creative brand Yola Made It, is a Long Island, NY-based exotic wear designer, cosplay enthusiast, and emerging performance costume artist. From a young age, she found joy in self-expression through the arts and now channels that passion into empowering others through bold, imaginative design.

Her creative journey spans a wide range of mediums—from polymer clay sculpting and crochet apparel to her most recent focus: cosplay and avant-garde fashion design. Drawn to vibrant color palettes, daring silhouettes, and theatrical flair, her work is inspired by everything from burlesque and EDM/burner culture to fantasy anime and character art.

After pivoting from a leadership role in solar asset management, Yolainne fully embraced herself-taught artistic path. Her designs are fueled by an insatiable passion for learning, hands-on experimentation, and a commitment to craftsmanship. With a unique blend of interpersonal finesse and meticulous attention to detail, she brings collaborative energy to every project.

In her spare time, she explores aerial arts—particularly silks and hammocks—which further fuels her fascination with movement, drama, and stage-ready design. As a proud member of the Whimsy Forge creator guild, Yolainne is excited to share her skills through magical DIY tutorials that spark confidence and celebrate the creator within.
