I’m Crystal Cartwright, fractional founder of Thriving in Color.

With 15 years of leadership experience, 10 years of operational expertise, and 4 years in the creator economy, I’ve had the privilege of guiding thousands of people toward success. I’ve worked at companies like Apple, LTK, Nike and high-growth tech startups, leading large teams, driving business impact, and helping individuals reach their full potential.

I come from a family of leaders and educators, so guiding and uplifting others is in my DNA.

My mission is simple: to empower creators, founders, and teams doing bold, vibrant work to thrive and achieve the goals they’re establishing on their own terms by building the strategy and systems with them.
