ABOUT
Hey there!
Hello, I'm Crystal McDougle, also known as Crystal Jené, the visionary behind ARTLETIK. This hub is a dynamic space where independent artists and creatives explore and reclaim their creative potential through a fusion of coaching, wellness practices, and social change initiatives.
Art holds the transformative power to drive social change. Artists are pivotal to this movement! Often, artists lack the support needed to turn their passion into a sustainable profession or career. I am dedicated to meaningful work that co-creates with artists, providing the support they need to thrive and make a lasting impact in their communities.
Welcome to ARTLETIK LLC!
I’m thrilled to share my journey with you—one that has been shaped by diverse artistic passions and a deep commitment to social impact. My artistic adventure began with a love for dance, which soon expanded to include playing the piano and violin, writing, modeling, and even podcasting. Each of these experiences has not only enriched my creative spirit but has also informed my unique perspective on the arts.
Before founding ARTLETIK, I was a Division 1 Track and Field athlete. It was here that I recognized the parallels between athletics and the arts—both require focus, discipline, and unwavering commitment. This realization led me to appreciate principles like consistency, clarity, respect, and positive reinforcement—not just in sports but as essential elements of the creative process. Now, I apply these insights to my 1:1 coaching sessions, helping artists set and achieve their personal goals.
My passion for human rights and liberation work blossomed during my graduate studies, revealing the transformative power of expressive arts. Inspired by this understanding, I founded ARTLETIK LLC as a sanctuary where artists can reclaim their creativity and build a renewed sense of community. Regardless of the barriers artists may face—whether economic, age-related, disability, class, racial, gender-based, or social—ARTLETIK LLC supports creatives in overcoming intersectional challenges and embracing their full potential.
Traveling, particularly my time in South Africa, has profoundly influenced my approach to the arts. I've learned that community and collective action are vital forces for change. At ARTLETIK, I use my artistic, multifaceted skills and commitment to community conciousness to offer a comprehensive coaching experience. Through personalized sessions, I encourage artists to embrace their authentic selves, overcome challenges, and utilize their creativity for personal growth and social impact.
