I’m Crystal Jackson, writer and experience designer. A creative spirit grounded in an analytical mind, I balance empathy with research, storytelling with strategy, and vision with collaboration. And I always advocate for the audience.
Recent interesting projects
- Leading a marketing platform app redesign to improve the consumer experience, increase internal efficiencies, and deliver better outcomes
- Developing a four-phase pandemic communications strategy that formed the basis of client’s overall marketing effort and resulted in impressive sales during a tumultuous time
- Planning and facilitating an all-day team workshop to support culture change efforts and brand development
My happy place is an environment where we’re all relentlessly dedicated to doing it right, staying curious, and keeping it fresh.
