Crystal W Design

Floral Wallpaper, fabrics and art

Since 2015

Hello!

I am Crystal, founder of Crystal W Design, a design brand specializing in nature-inspired floral wallpaper, fabrics, and hand-painted art. Featuring painterly patterns for surface design. I’ve always been drawn to finding a relationship with fine art and design so I love handmade art with delicate layers, inherent irregularities, and imperfections that define my signature style for floral art, botanicals, and whimsical themes.

Beginning a journey as an independent artist in 2015, I leveraged my professional design experience to use in my art licensing business. At that time, I licensed artwork to collaborators and continued my former design job on a freelance basis.

Since then, I have experimented with lots of partnerships and now I have opened a shop to sell curated products with my designs. I am thrilled with how it’s unfolding already and excited to see this business grow the same way that I grew my art licensing business.

To my artist friends,

Post-pandemic, in the artist community, aspiring artists became a target audience heavily marketed to, to sell information products on how to build and thrive as an artist. Monetizing my experience never felt like the right choice for me.

You don't need to spend lots of money to learn because true learning happens in practice. I have a college degree, but I always wanted a creative-based business even before that so just because I went to college doesn’t mean you have to.

I strongly believe that however you put the time in, the proof is in the practice. Some designers and artists are self-made, but however you cut it, whether you come in as a professional designer or are just starting from scratch, practice and commitment is what matters most.

Getting a college degree is still an excellent choice that opens a lot of doors for aspiring designers and there are independent designers who like myself came from a professional path with a degree to find themselves as independent designers.

If you want to be an artist, BE AN ARTIST, you don't need anyones permission, blessing, formula or system to thrive, you need to just start and allow yourself the grace to fail and make mistakes so that you can move on to your victories, big and small. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. Your ideas are your power. SMALL investments of time, and energy, will show you what works FOR YOU.

Handmade art and design

have soul and softness. I get lost in another world in painting.

Color is a design language; it’s a mood; it speaks in other ways, and florals are a muse, their fleeting beauty and essence captured.
