About Me

I’m Kelli Crescenti. I am an artist and educator.
While originally from a suburb of Los Angeles, California, I’ve spent most of my adult life outside the US, living and teaching in different countries around the world. I currently call Barcelona, Spain home.

Some of my special interests include: child development, decolonization frameworks, science fiction, transfeminism, children’s literature, and Palestinian liberation. I’m also a big fan of wandering in new cities (and old) and journaling in cozy coffee shops.
