Working with Crystal

I provide live illustration for weddings, private celebrations and brand events.

This includes engagement parties, bridal showers and wedding day celebrations, as well as special family occasions such as christenings, significant birthdays and bar or bat mitzvahs. I also illustrate at corporate events, brand activations and fashion or beauty launches where illustration becomes part of the guest experience.

Each illustration experience is thoughtfully tailored to suit the atmosphere and flow of the event, creating a natural point of interest as guests watch portraits come to life.

Guests receive a personalised hand-drawn portrait to take home — a meaningful keepsake that reflects the moment while also creating a memorable experience for the event.

With a background in fashion illustration and fine art portraiture, I bring an artistic and considered approach to live illustration — capturing the essence of each guest through elegant, expressive portraits.

Before offering live illustration for events, I spent several years working within the fashion wholesale and retail industry, where my work in design and international trend research — including travel to global trade shows — refined my eye for style, detail and silhouette.

Live illustration creates a natural point of interest during an event, as guests gather to watch portraits come to life while receiving a personalised artwork to take home.

The illustration experience integrates seamlessly into the celebration, allowing hosts, wedding planners and brand teams to focus on the event while guests enjoy a meaningful and memorable keepsake.

Each booking also includes a custom illustration template designed specifically for the event, ensuring the artwork feels beautifully connected to the celebration or brand experience.

Each portrait typically takes around 6–10 minutes, depending on the level of detail and the number of people included in the illustration.

Illustration collections are designed to accommodate different guest counts, and I can recommend the best option based on your event size and timing.

For larger guest lists, additional portraits can also be completed in the studio after the event if required.

Just a table and chair — that’s all.

I provide everything else needed for the illustrations, and the setup is designed to integrate seamlessly into the event.

I am based in Melbourne and available for weddings, private events and brand activations.

For events outside Melbourne, travel can be arranged and any associated travel costs will be discussed at the time of enquiry.

Make an enquiry — HERE if you're planning a brand activation, and HERE if it's a wedding or private event.

I’ll check availability and learn a little more about your event.

Pricing is tailored depending on the event type, location and duration. I’ll recommend the most suitable option and provide a personalised quote.

If you’d like to proceed, a 50% deposit secures your date, with the remaining balance due 7 days before the event.

Event dates are limited, so early enquiries are always recommended.
