Larissa Krysiek (la-riss-a cry-sick) is & has been many things: copywriter, editor, art director, creative director, 
and photographer.
She is, admittedly, less interested in title symantics and more interested in the creative process and its final outcome.

This portfolio contains work spanning freelance projects, corporate work, photo direction, and copywriting/editing.

When she is not traveling to far-flung destinations you can find her in Chicago, IL browsing bookstores and resale shops with a coffee in hand, looking for her next source of inspiration.
