Designer Spotlight: Crystal Quinn

Now available for purchase: some rad unisex shoes & thimble necklaces by Minneapolis based artist, Crystal Quinn.





Crystal is an amazing person to be around, she lights up every room she's in.
I recently went to North Dakota & Minnesota this summer and was able to make a Minneapolis detour and visit Miss Crystal Quinn. She showed us her beautiful loft that she shares with her boyfriend David Petersen and his little girl.
Since I was there they moved lofts, but are in the same building, it's a WONDERFUL building! Below them lives Annie Larson in a beautiful space with her boyfriend where she makes AMAZING knitwear.


Here are some beanies that Crystal and Annie are collaborating on!
(Annie does the knits and Crystal makes the pom-poms!)

Crystal was busy making wedding dresses for various friends while I was there.


Here she is with one of the wedding dress mock-ups in her sewing space

David runs a gallery called Art of This out of their loft.

I had a short, yet fun time with Crystal and I can't wait to go back and visit again.
Look out for Crystal's art on Light Vision's front page for the month of November, it will be rad for sure.

Thank you Crystal and David!
