Summary
Caitlyn Crites is a multidisciplinary designer and maker with nearly a decade of professional experience blending digital design, illustration, and hands-on craft work. Based in San Francisco since 2012, she has led multi-channel branding and web projects at the Electronic Frontier Foundation while also producing print and specialty physical goods, and her campaign work routinely supported six-figure fundraising results. Equally at home in a woodshop or a print studio, she now apprentices in high-end carpentry and operates DTG and screen-print equipment for small-batch clients. Her career is defined by a restless mix of analog skill and digital fluency—translating wireframes into accessible prototypes by day and painting murals or letterpress experiments by night. Notably, she pairs editorial illustration experience (syndicated work from 2019–2023) with practical vendor sourcing and production know-how, making her a rare creative who delivers concept through finished, crafted objects.
