My name is Cristal Kabeya, and I’m a designer.

Growing up in Congo, I was surrounded by creativity. My siblings and I used plastic bags to make soccer balls & repurposed tea containers to build mini cars. Growing up, we were always exploring art, drawing, writing songs, or filming videos. Our parents taught us that self-expression should be encouraged, protected, and shared.

After moving to America, I became infatuated with visual art, filling sketchbooks with fictional characters and drawings of people around me. 

But I’ve always wanted my work to expand beyond the page.

After a year of preparation, I present to you my clothing brand, 

kristar.store.
