hello!
My name is Cryssy, and I’m a Chinese-American artist, art director, illustrator, and designer. My work has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators, Clios, and Promax. I’ve 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).
I was based in New York City for 18 years, but I’ve 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.
some things i do -
art direction + illustration + design + key art + on+off air promos + OOH + print + editorial + posters + publishing + pitches/bids + social + muay thai
I’m always eager to connect and explore new collaborations. Don’t hesitate to reach out at hello@cryssycheung.com — I’d love to hear from you!
