HEY CUTIE
Wow, I feel like I’m back in my livejournal days circa 2002 where all I did was complain how bored I was at home while learning how to code fansites of C list Radio Disney artists on geocities. Am I dating myself? Probably, but you’re my target demo - so you get it.
Thanks for joining me along for this journey! I’m Chrissa and you may know me from my Barbie sketches on the internet. Perhaps you know me as a clothing designer from the past eight years. Maybe you know me from an episode of Storage Wars appraising Hello Kitty and Jem and the Holograms merch (which, honestly, is all I ever want in life.) Either way - I’m happy that you’re here!
A little bit about me - I am a multi-passionate artist who does a little bit of everything really well. I’m ultimately a performer (thanks to dire need of emotional validaton as a child) who loves to sing and do stand-up comedy with my pink ukulele. I’ve been a clothing designer for the past eight years along with creative directing/producing editorials during that time. I’ve also been a certified Pilates instructor for the past decade and launched my own studio piinkpilates this year. (I sure love wearing many hats….not) I had a small stint on YouTube & Twitch, which helped me garner experience with shooting and editing to the point of doing it easily in my sleep - along with studio photography to help me shoot my own photos.
I know. She does a lot. I bet you’re wondering how I navigate all of my interests into one dream job.
I’M LAUNCHING A PODCAST!
Honestly, this has been in the works all year. I had all of my equipment ready to go in November/December and then I focused on opening my pilates studio. But she’s back! I get many questions about my creative process and how I manage to do so much within a small amount of time. I can talk about my businesses and my creativity all day long. It’s something I’m truly passionate and love to share my experience with others who may be learning how to navigate their career in a world that forces us to choose one thing.
I’ll be releasing weekly podcast episodes in video and audio format - chatting all things creativity, ADHD, dating - anything and everything!
why am I paying for this?
That’s a great question! With my years of experience having a massive range of creative jobs - I have a lot of insight to offer in regards to combining all of my skillsets and talents into one dream job. I’ve been in therapy actively for the past 9 years (well, just broke up with my therapist - but we’ll get into that soon enough) and I’ve worked through a lot of personal barriers that has made such a huge difference in my career.
Not only is this a podcast for you to learn from, but it’s a cathartic experience for me to acknowledge all of the work that I’ve done that has led me to this moment in time. As healing as it is for me, I hope it’s a tool that you can utilize to help guide you through your journey of self-discovery as a creative that leads you to a life of happiness and joy that you deserve.
thank you
I can’t wait to have you on this journey with me!
Make sure to follow me on IG & TikTok along with my new designs on sale @shopchrissasparkles (look at me shamelessly promoting my work and learning how to take up space!)
See ya at the first episode!
