Soft Daddy (Liv, he/they) is a queer, transmasculine kinkster, rope bondage artist, and educator based in New York City. His practice centers fat and marginalized bodies and people, rooted in the belief that all bodies belong in rope, and works to make physically challenging, aesthetically driven rope both accessible and collaborative for anyone who wants to experience it. He has performed and taught across the U.S. and internationally, including Hit Me Up NYC, Folsom Street Fair Bondage Stage, Twisted Windows SF, and Tension MTL. His approach to teaching mirrors his approach to rope: pluralistic, hands-on, and communication-based creation of intentional containers for exploration. As a true switch, Soft Daddy brings the perspectives of both top and bottom to his teaching, connecting the relational skills of communication and trust with the technical skills of rope.

Olivia (she/her) is a rope bottom and educator based in New York City. She has been a practicing rope bottom for more than three years, bringing a bottom-centered perspective shaped by her love of being in rope, pushing her limits, and doing hard things while looking hot. Her approach to presenting is grounded in lived experience in processing pain, navigating risk, and developing the communication skills needed to make intentional choices as a bottom. Olivia brings curiosity, humor, and a willingness to get uncomfortable into her practice, using her own experiences in rope to help others better understand the physical and mental realities of being a bottom. Olivia has taught "Pervy Partials" at Kinbaku Miami and AirFlow at Coil & Cord in Brooklyn, NY with her partner Nina.
