Krysti Horvat was born on April Fool's Day in 1986. She did well in school as a child, and developed a passion for art early in life. Compassion and creativity led her through high school as she made an artitstic reputation for herself. Quickly, though, she realized she would not be able to draw her way through life (a pencil can't pay the bills!)

Straight after high school, Krysti attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh for a quarter before realizing that Youngstown State University, which was much closer, would be the school for her. She will graduate from Youngstown State University in December of 2013 with a BFA in Graphic Design + Interactive.

Through school, Krysti has worked a manager at Wendy's. She feels passionately about her job and takes pride in her work.
