HEY IβM CRYSBEL, A LATINX BROOKLYN NATIVE & FORMER FASHION DESIGNER SLAYING IN MARKETING FOR CLOTHING BRANDS & CREATIVEPRENEURS
With over 5 years of experience working in the fashion industry, Iβm a creative who understands other creatives- Iβm here to tell your brand story & attract the right audience through engaging content
FROM DESIGNING CLOTHES FOR PRIVATE LABEL COMPANIES TO SOCIAL MEDIA STORYTELLING, THIS IS MY COME UP STORY
Iβve debuted my talents in the fashion industry as an associate designer for private-label brands, including Nanette Lepore, Bloomingdaleβs & Saks Fifth Avenue, but my story goes way back.
Growing up as the daughter of Ecuadorian immigrant parents in Brooklyn, NY, I fell in love with fashion as my mother gave me the ability to make outfit choices freely. Because of that, I could be expressive and my most authentic self. My school days off included tagging along with my younger brother and mother to her freelance gigs, where I would draw mini flats of tops, bottoms, and dresses in composition notebooks to pass the time. My fashion design dreams came true at an early age when I auditioned to attend the High School of Fashion Industries and later attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, specializing in womenswear.
While I achieved my childhood dreams of being a fashion designer and creating best-sellers with an all-women team, I was not happy with the low-balling of salary negotiations and creativity restrictions. I knew I wanted more out of my 9 to 5- especially on my terms.
To help aspiring designers navigate the industry & land their design dream job, I published my first blog, THE FSHN CAREER β introducing me to the world of social media & marketing. I discovered a connection between my creative skillsets & planning strong content strategies, a true glow-up π«.
Why do I dedicate my talents to supporting creatives & fashion brands of color?
As a Latinx entrepreneur, Iβm rooting for us- I want to see brands of color succeed & I share the same aspirations of achieving the financial freedom we desire πΈ . Working with BIPOC creativepreneurs/fashion brands allowed me to improve their online presence/increase their engagement rate through organic marketing & brand awareness- without compromising their values and telling their story on their own terms. I help you build a creative marketing strategy around your brand identity, necessities & long-term goals.
