Author, Writer, Poet

Kristal has been writing since the age of 9, starting with simple poems that marked her first steps into the world of storytelling. A pivotal moment in her creative journey came when she discovered her grandmother’s old typewriter—an heirloom passed down through generations, once used by both her grandmother and great-grandfather. The typewriter sparked a sense of excitement and possibility, and Kristal quickly began crafting fairy tales, sharing them eagerly with her younger sister and brother. Their enthusiasm fueled her imagination, giving her the confidence to explore and grow as a writer.

Her love for storytelling was nurtured further by her deep connection to music, thanks to her father, a former drummer in a German band. Rock music became an essential part of her creative process, unlocking new ways to express herself through lyrics and melodies, infusing her writing with a rhythmic, emotional quality.

At 15, Kristal began composing musicals, fusing her musical training with her growing passion for narrative. Her musical journey was enriched by her experiences in musical theater, where she embraced acting, dancing, and singing while balancing opera and jazz vocal studies. These diverse experiences taught her how to build tension and release in her stories, making her writing come alive with energy and emotion.

The world of theater continued to inspire her. Kristal worked in Youth Theater, Puppet Theater, and Dance Theater, where she learned how movement and performance could transform a story. These experiences enriched her writing, teaching her to craft narratives that were as dynamic and expressive as the performances she had been a part of.

At 20, she formed a rock band, continuing her connection to music, writing lyrics and melodies, and performing with her voice at the center. She also played multiple instruments, allowing her to experiment with different sounds and styles. By 22, Kristal began exploring scriptwriting for short films, adding another layer to her storytelling.

Each chapter of Kristal’s creative journey—whether it was through writing fairy tales on an old typewriter, composing music, or performing on stage—has shaped her as a writer. Her diverse experiences have given her a unique voice, blending rhythm, emotion, and performance into her work. She writes with a passion for vivid imagery and compelling characters, always seeking to connect with the heart of her audience.
