About Me:
My name is Crystal Russell. I live right outside of the city of Charlotte and I went to school at the Art Institute of Charlotte. I just recieved my Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree.
I have a huge passion for art and design. I knew right away that when I got out of High School; this is what I wanted to go to school for and learn to do. Most of the time...design concepts just come naturally to me and sometimes they require extra attention. I have a unlimited supply of inspiration and resources to come up with the perfect concepts. Overall my end results are pretty awesome.
As for me...I'm just your NOT so average young adult. Being a dwarf does limit me somewhat but overall I don't let it phase me. I'm just small and that's about it. Being 3'7" can be rough at times...BUT I'm really hoping that people won't judge me for my outward appearances immediately. Give me a chance in the professional field and I know I won't disappoint you.
On a more personal level... I'm a huge dork and have a really big sense of humor. I can be goofy and silly alot because I've found that its best if you try not to take yourself too seriously. I absolutely love the music scene in Charlotte and my favorite type of music is punk. Music is just a way of life for me and I don't think that I could survive without it. I'm also a Christian and I know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Him. He has provided me with so much such as great parents, friends, family, and limitless opportunities. Without God and them I wouldn't be where I am today.
If there is anything else you might want to know about me just ask...I promise I won't mind!
