KRYSTAL WONG

Illustrator.ARTIST.GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Hello! I’m Krystal, a London-based Illustrator, Artist, and Graphic Designer. My work celebrates the rich tapestry of people, places, and community, reflecting the vibrant stories that shape our lives. Through colourful, digital vector illustrations, I aim to evoke feelings of comfort and nostalgia, turning everyday moments into art that connects us all. Each piece I create is a love letter to the world around us, highlighting the beauty and significance of the spaces we inhabit and the people who share them.

Inspiration strikes during my weekly walks around the city, where I absorb the architecture, nature, and the myriad experiences that define urban life. My creative process begins with sketching, capturing the essence of my subjects using photographs. After sketching, I scan my drawings into Adobe Illustrator, where I transform them into vibrant, playful illustrations that celebrate the stories of our communities.

While I focus primarily on digital illustration, I also create paintings in various mediums, including acrylics and watercolors. These works allow me to explore different textures and styles, deepening my connection to the themes of people and place.

I also help businesses tell their story through branding, creating connections that feel personal and reflect the heart of their community.

Previous clients include: Ancestry UK, Hart Shoreditch Hotel (Curio Collection Hilton), Dulwich College, Millie & Maisie, and House of Kin.

Featured in: Real Homes Magazine, TimeOut and Etsy.

I’d love to hear about your ideas and how we can work together. Whether it’s a custom illustration, branding, or something else, get in touch, and let’s create something awesome.
