you'll be working with

My name is Careshia Esperanza and I am an artist living in Cape Town, SA. My work ranges from painting to sculptures. Sense of humour and playfulness is what I aim for. We should be able to play while making art.

I thrive on mixing things up, working with everything from acrylics, oil sticks, koki and ink. My work brings together human forms, often a bit disjointed and warped, with an eclectic cast of creatures and monsters. Each piece is a little adventure—fun, weird, and titillating, with unexpected twists and a sense of playfulness.

I aim to create art that catches you off guard, makes you look twice, and lets you dive into a world where anything (and anyone) can take shape.

That's where the name Crayative started. I'm a bit of a crazy creative and that's exactly just it! I'm "cray-ative"! After grafting and working on perfecting my skill in illustration. Now, here's the juicy part—I've partnered with big-league brands like ASICS, Ogilvy, Anglo-American, SANRAL, Rain, and more. They've praised my creativity in bringing their projects to life, and I'm here to bring that same magic to your project. I’ve been fortunate enough to work on projects that have been awarded esteemed South African design accolades such as Pendoring, Assegaai, Loeries and Bookmark.

So, if you're ready to embark on a wild, colourful adventure, let's join forces.
