Today we’re excited to be connecting with Steven Rodriguez again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Steven, we are so thrilled to be connecting again and can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things you have been up to. Before we jump into all of that, some of our readers might have missed our prior interview, so can you take a moment to reintroduce yourself?
My name is Steven, also known as S15 Costuming! I’m a cosplayer, propmaker, gamer, and streamer living in Miami, FL! I’ve been cosplaying since 2011 and streaming on Twitch since 2020! I also fundraise for Nicklaus Children’s Hospital through Extra Life, an CMN Hospital program that brings gamers together to raise money for their local children’s hospital.

Great, so let’s jump into an update on what you have been up to since we last spoke. What can you share with us?
Things have improved, I’ve taken care of my mental health since the last interview. I’m in a better place than I was five years ago. Other than that, I’m starting to cosplay more again since the pandemic stopped the con circuit five years ago.

We have now arrived at one of our favorite parts of the interview – the lightning round. We’ll ask you a few quick questions to give us all some fun insights about you.

Favorite TV Show: Fallout

Favorite Band or Artist: I don’t really have a favorite band or artist, I listen to a variety of music.

Sweet or Savory: I have a huge sweet tooth

Mountains or Beach: Beach, easily

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up: I wanted to be a video game designer

What do you want people to remember about you and your brand? What are some of things that you feel are most important, unique, special, etc?
I want to be remembered as someone who did their own thing, not really following too many trends. Just making stuff that made me happy!
