After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a specialization in Studio Art, Crissy built her foundation in jewelry design and silversmithing through formal training before making St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands her home. Her work blends the craftsmanship of the American Southwest with the vibrant colours, textures, and spirit of the Caribbean, resulting in jewelry that is both artistic and deeply connected to place.
Following Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, returning to the studio became an important part of rebuilding life on the island. Today, every piece is carefully forged by hand using precious metals and ethically sourced stones, creating small-batch collections that celebrate craftsmanship, resilience, and the beauty of island living.
