Hi! I’m Crystal, a visual designer with 10+ years of experience shaping consumer brands that connect. My main expertise is in brand and packaging design for CPG companies. I excel at building visual systems, positioning brands, building and directing creative concepts, and collaborating across teams to bring ideas to life through empathic, story-driven design. I believe good design should be both thoughtful and expressive, rooted in strategy but never afraid to show personality. Examples of my work can be found on my online portfolio: crystalmolascon.myportfolio.com
