Meet Crystal

Meet The Fancy Cat!

Crystal Truong is a calligrapher, graphic designer, stationer, and educator.

She started her career as a therapist for kids and families and then became a Recruiting Coordinator at Microsoft, but always found herself going back to the arts. When she discovered modern calligraphy in 2014, she knew she had finally found her calling. After going full-time in Spring of 2018, she never looked back.

Since founding The Fancy Cat Studio in 2014, she has created countless place cards, invitation suites, signs, and the like, for clients including Ariana Kukors and Whitney Port. She has also collaborated with companies local to Seattle, including Trophy Cupcakes, Molly Moon’s Ice Cream, and Seattle Met Bride and Groom.

Crystal enjoys designing in a variety of styles, but her “signature style” is considered to be fun and modern, and is heavily inspired by that California Cool aesthetic.

In her spare time, she enjoys playing with her cats, Oliver and Ridley, and going to new restaurants, particularly for Indian food, with her husband, Greg.

Feel free to reach out at crystal@thefancycatstudio.com to chat about how your event can be elevated with bespoke paper goods and signage!

THE ‘GRAM

  • One of my favorite things is helping couples surprise their guests with unexpected details at the dinner table. These velvet place cards would definitely fall into that “consider using” category... amongst an infinite list of other things! 😆🙌🏼✨ .

  • I don’t like to pick favorites, but this suite is pretty high up on my list, mostly because it includes this amazing dogwood wax seal by @plumecalligraphy, printing by @inkypress, and a custom family illustration by @ellewyant with M + H’s CAT. I mean, a team of girl bosses + kittens? Sounds perfect to me. 😻🌿 . I’ll be sharing more once these guys start hitting guests’ mailboxes.
