lovely to meet you!
crissie rodda is an artist + illustrator, based in the rolling rural countryside of waikato, new zealand. she designs for + loves collaborating with companies, brands + creative individuals from all over the world.
vibrant + wholehearted, crissies work is rooted in a visual warmth that reflects her deep appreciation for connection + self expression. for crissie, art isn’t just about what to draw, it’s about how she wants people to feel - sometimes nostalgic, sometimes cheeky, sometimes expressive + playful.
she often transforms her personal reflections into imagery that feels joyful, relatable + familiar. but with a colourful freshness that is visually engaging + uplifting. the kind of art that can brighten a room, spark a smile or help someone feel that little bit lighter.
When she’s not in the studio, you'll usually find crissie head down in home + design magazines, practising her fibre art skills, enjoying music or exploring the great new zealand outdoors with her husband + their three gorgeous girls.
