Profile
Lupo Studio was founded by Chrissy Lupo. She began her love affair with art at a young age, from scribbling with crayons to teaching herself Photoshop in middle school, so that she could create a logo, album art, and merch for a friend’s band. In high school, she took an internship her senior year at performing arts venue to further pursue her passions, blending together design and music. After high school, she attended Ringling College of Art + Design receiving her Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Graphic + Interactive Communication. Raised by a single mother on a teacher's salary, she didn't have a college fund, but was determined in her dedication to design, she worked nights in a print shop to put herself through college. Throughout her career she has never strayed from the field and has worked in nearly every kind of design environment ranging from print shops, freelance, in-house, and agencies, to fast paced start ups. With her experience, the natural next step was to start her own design shop. Drawing inspiration from her surname of Italian origin, meaning “wolf”, she decided to embrace her inner wolf and forge her own path.
