Hi, my name is Kristal.

I’m a NYC-based graphic designer and illustrator with a love for color, texture, and hand-drawn details. With roots in traditional drawing and painting, I like bringing an illustrative point of view to digital design—creating work that feels polished without losing its personality.

I earned my BFA in General Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology, SUNY, and have spent 15 years working in the fashion industry with brands including Ralph Lauren and Vineyard Vines. My background spans traditional fine art, fashion illustration, and digital design, which allows me to move easily between a sketchbook and the screen.

Outside of work, I’m usually sketching on my iPad, getting overly invested in a new series, trying a new cuisine, or enjoying a quiet night with family.
