Hi! I'm Crystal.

(she/they), Naarm/Melbourne, Australia

I'm an engineering student, graphic designer and visual artist that perpetually finds herself at the intersection of STEM and fine art. I am passionate about finding creative and innovative ways to brainstorm and experiment, to express myself and my ideas and most importantly, to have fun through constant adaptation and evolution. I love challenging myself and learning new skills, and I constantly strive to incorporate the delicate balance of science and art in all aspects of my life. When I’m not burying my head in textbooks or working on my latest project, you can find me attending dance classes, sewing some clothes or playing video games with my friends!
