Crystal Xie

I want to start as a Character, Texture, Lookdev, or Lighting Artist -and ultimately, tell unforgettable stories with like-minded creatives.

Art has been my biggest passion since before I could remember, but I knew a traditional fine-arts career wasn't for me. I craved more technology, more relatability...more kick. But I didn't know where to look, so I locked my artistic dreams away in a box and studied for a career in law. When it came time to choose a grad school, the pandemic hit. With space to break away for the first time in years, I confronted the fact that I would never be happy pursuing anything but this. So I went for it.
