My name is Crystal Hollis and I am a digital media creator, editor, and archivist. I freelance for various companies and organizations, including the University of North Texas and Southern Methodist University. I founded Magna Media Arts LLC in March 2020 and work out of an office at Novel Co-working in Downtown Dallas.
I graduated from the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton with a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Interactive and Virtual, Digital Communication from the College of Information and Mayborn School of Journalism; a Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio, Television, and Film (RTVF) from the College of Arts and Sciences; a minor in Management from the College of Business; and a Media Management Certificate from the RTVF Department.
I live in the North Oak Cliff area with my husband and business partner Joseph Hite and my little daughter Katherine.
