Hi — I'm Cressida ...

💡 TL;DR — I make bold, thoughtful creative that moves people—visually, emotionally, and strategically.

I'm a visual storyteller and creative lead with over a decade of experience shaping brand identities, campaigns, and motion design for industry-leading teams and brands with global audiences. You can DOWNLOAD MY RESUME for a quick overview, or stick around to learn more about how I work.

I’m passionate about creating work that’s not only beautiful but meaningful—stories that resonate, designs that connect, and systems that empower teams to do their best work.

I’ve led creative for projects across ESPN, Disney, and beyond—whether it’s crafting bold identities, designing animation and systems, or collaborating cross-functionally to bring big ideas to life. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and aesthetics, always working to elevate the message and the experience.

When I’m not behind the work, I’m mentoring, learning, and advocating for inclusive creative practices—because great design doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It takes curiosity, collaboration, and the courage to challenge what’s expected.

Outside of professional work, I also teach art and science to kids—infusing creativity, curiosity, and play into everything we do. Whether we're exploring math through abstract painting or breaking down body systems with gummy bears, I believe early creative engagement helps build the kind of thinkers the world needs more of.

Let’s build something that moves people!

Being on a team with Cressida, the first thing you will notice is that she is a friendly, insightful, and collaborative individual. She shows an aptitude for breaking down and acquiring all the relevant information needed for completing a particular project along with a well developed design aesthetic. Having a more than competent grasp of the tools of her trade, she is always open to learn new things from her fellow teammates as well as share her own knowledge. It was a refreshing experience working with her.
