Cristana Smith

I am the founder and artistic force behind Cristana Creative, a brand that crafts culturally inspired lifestyle goods with purpose and personality. With expertise in jewelry-making, candle artistry, and resin design, she blends visual storytelling, affirmations, and wellness to create products that empower and uplift.

Her experience spans:

Product design & craftsmanship: Jewelry, candles, trays, notebooks

Creative strategy: Catalog layout, bundle pricing, brand voice development

Affirmation-rich content creation: Gratitude templates, wellness journals, label copy

Trend-savvy innovation: Scent blends, color theory, edgy product lines

Business operations: Strategic pricing, market analysis, adaptive use of materials

Each offering reflects a deep understanding of cultural identity, empowerment, and resourceful entrepreneurship, making Cristana Creative more than a business, but a movement of intention and self-expression.

I’m Cris, the maker, dreamer, and storyteller behind Cristana Creative. Everything I create—from handmade jewelry to affirmation-rich candles to culturally inspired notebooks—is rooted in intention, soul, and lived experience. My business isn’t just about products; it’s a movement of self-expression, resilience, and empowerment.

I’ve poured years into learning my craft—from mastering resin and scent blending to designing packaging that speaks before it’s even opened. But my education goes way beyond the classroom. It lives in every catalog I lay out, every affirmation I write, and every time I pivot materials to make something meaningful.

I’ve taught myself the ins and outs of branding, pricing, and creating with purpose—and I’m proud to bring wellness, body literacy, and cultural pride into every offering. Cristana Creative is a reflection of who I am, what I value, and what I believe others deserve to experience in their everyday lives.
