hello!

Cryssy is a Chinese-American artist, art director, illustrator, and designer. She's worked on projects ranging from film and TV posters and campaigns for clients like Marvel, Disney, and Viacom to illustrating a full book for the Vincent Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam (with Insight Editions). Her work has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators, Clios, AI-AP, Promax, and more.

She was based in New York City for 18 years, but has since left the urban jungle and, over the past two years, embraced a nomadic lifestyle: exploring new perspectives, finding fresh inspiration, and continuously learning along the way.
