About Nocturne Doll
Hi, I’m Sam
I’m a 28 year old web developer who also has a large collection of BJDs. I started doing faceups in 2012 under the name ShadowedForce and opened my shop, Shadowed Force Aesthetics, in 2013. I changed my shop name in 2020 to Nocturne Doll Studio. I always wanted to help other collectors create the doll of their dreams, which is why I am where I am!
I began collecting in college, which is where I continued my love for the web. I graduated in May of 2016 from Minnesota State University Moorhead with a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Communications. I now live in Fargo and am working for one of the fastest-growing small businesses in North Dakota as the manager of the web department.
When I’m not playing with my dolls, I’m either playing video games, cosplaying, or playing with my cat and dog. I’m a lover of RPG, puzzle, horror, and thriller games, with story being an important aspect to me.
I married my husband, who’s also a big nerd, in October of 2017. While he doesn’t collect dolls, he appreciates their aesthetics and the character creation behind them. However, my mother is also in the hobby with me, and has a BJD collection of her very own that’s filled with elves and fantasy creatures. I often attend the MN Twin Cities BJD meetups with her.
