Casey Crisenbery
Chicago, IL, USAI am a Chicago based artist, designer, illustrator, and novice travel junkie. Visual storytelling, handmade aesthetics, and the play between type and image are a few of my many interests. I like my work to reflect the feeling and beauty of many of my adventures– and above all else to be fun. If you're ever interested in sharing or collaborating, feel free to reach out!
