About
Christina Jewels Krzaszczak
(pronounced Kraz-Ak)
Adjunct Professor Foothill College, Los Altos Hills, CA
Bachelor of Science – Graphic Design
Christina Jewels started Coastside Creative in 2025 after years of working as an independent graphic designer and website developer. As her project load continued to grow, she began bringing on other creatives—not only to expand the studio’s capabilities, but also to create opportunities for younger designers to learn, collaborate, and build strong foundational skills.
Mentorship has always been an important part of Christina’s work. With experience teaching graphic design at the college level, she is passionate about helping emerging designers strengthen the fundamentals that can sometimes be overlooked in a fast-moving, template-driven design world.
