The Story Behind Crescent Moon Art & Design

Art has always been a constant in my life, serving as an outlet, a passion, and a means of connecting with others. What started as sketching endless characters as a child (my parents affectionately called my drawings “The Never-Ending Story”) has evolved into Crescent Moon Art & Design, a creative brand where imagination meets craftsmanship.

My Artistic Journey

My love for art began the moment I could hold a pencil. I’ve always been drawn to character-driven storytelling and detailed illustrations, filling page after page with my own imaginative worlds. That passion led me to study Visual Arts & New Media at SUNY Fredonia, where I refined my skills in fine arts, design, and digital media.

Over the years, I’ve built a career as a Marketing Coordinator, combining creativity and strategy to craft compelling stories for brands. But no matter where my professional journey took me, I always came back to art—it’s what keeps me inspired, grounded, and connected to others.

The Inspiration Behind Crescent Moon

Crescent Moon Art & Design was born from my desire to merge creativity and expression into something tangible, something that others could wear, share, and connect with. Each design is rooted in my love for nature, storytelling, and symbolism, reflecting the same passion that’s guided me since childhood.

Wearable Art, Crafted with Purpose

These custom shirts are the heart of Crescent Moon, born from years of artistic exploration and a love for handmade detail. Each design begins as a hand-drawn pencil or pen illustration, inspired by breathtaking landscapes, captivating animals, and the quiet beauty found in everyday moments.

Once complete, each piece is carefully screen-printed onto high-quality, garment-dyed fabric, ensuring durability, comfort, and a one-of-a-kind look. The result is wearable art that feels personal and timeless.

What Makes Them Special:

• 100% soft ring-spun cotton

• Heavyweight, garment-dyed fabric for a lived-in feel

• Relaxed, unisex fit

• Hand-drawn, original designs

Priced at $30 per shirt, each piece is an affordable investment in art you can wear. Whether you’re elevating your everyday look or searching for the perfect, creative gift, these shirts offer something truly unique, an expression of individuality that stands apart from mass-produced styles.

Join the Journey

Crescent Moon Art & Design is more than a shop; it’s a reflection of my lifelong love for art and storytelling. I hope each design you wear reminds you to embrace your own creativity and stay inspired through every phase of your journey, just like the moon.
