Klingon Pop Warrior
Jen Usellis is a Chicago native with a BFA in theater and a passion for acting, singing, and Star Trek! We had fun making these Pop Warrior custom stickers and 1.25” round custom Made buttons for Jen’s most recent project. Jen’s extensive resume consists of over 70 theatrical productions and her most recent project has blown up on the internet.
