Hi! My name is Krystal but most call me Krys.

Hey, hi, my name is Krys, and it’s super nice to meet you. I guess this is where I tell you a little bit about myself. I’m a pretty well-rounded designer, but my heart belongs to long-form print design: books, magazines, and multi-page masterpieces. In fact, I love print so much that I bought a 1850s printing press and operated it out of my garage. But, it turns out I’m more of a point-click-type girlie and not so much an operate-heavy-machinery girlie. C’est la vie.

When I’m not working, you can catch me snuggling my dog, Soda Pop, reading, crafting, or sitting somewhere near the water. Ask me about my collections…is this a dating profile or a portfolio? I guess they kinda serve the same purpose, right?

Anyway…pick me, choose me, love hire me.

And always…stay gold, Ponyboy.
