About Us
I’m Crystalyn Richards, the creative, right-brained squirrel behind Crystalyn’s Creative Attic! I have a need to create and love sharing that joy with others. With a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education & Deaf Studies, I’ve spent over 25 years advocating for those who need support to live life to the fullest. 
Passionate about lifting others up, I always encourage people to find their voice. I love a good challenge and believe in ‘thinking outside the box’ to find creative, functional solutions!
God & family are my foundation, and my boys are my world. 
My friends are like family, and I’m an avid hugger who believes in Hug Therapy! 
Oh, and I LOVE the color purple! 
Excited to share this journey of creativity and joy with all of you! 
I’m Linda – proud mom, partner, and the left-brain behind Crystalyn’s Creative Attic. 
Fun fact: I’m a twin (with a brother who’s thankfully taller than me 
). Born in NYC and raised in Flushing, Queens, my New York accent is here to stay!
For over 13 years, I’ve worked as a Certified Home Health Aide, and I absolutely love it. Helping the elderly live their best lives at home fills my heart. Every day, I learn from them and share in their stories, making their days brighter – and they definitely brighten mine too! 
So happy to be on this creative journey with my daughter, Crystalyn. Together, we’re building something special! 
Meet Amy! She did not start this journey from the beginning, but she is one of those Treasures we picked up along the way. She has become a member of our family and a true asset to the Creative Attic.
Amy is the bridge that keeps Crystalyn’s Creative Attic running smoothly, connecting Linda’s business savvy with Crystalyn’s creative genius. As a single twin mama, she’s building her own social media management and virtual assistant empire, all while teaching her little girls how to grow alongside her. 
With a dog named Luna and a cat named Mr. Maggie Scratchy keeping her company, Amy navigates life as Linda’s trusted ‘social media guru,’ helping us reach new heights. 
We’re so lucky to have her as part of the CCA family!
