Mysti Cruz — Founder, Fashionista & Fierce & Female Empowerer
Meet Mysti Cruz: the fiery redhead with a boho heart, bold style, and a passion for creating spaces where women feel confident, connected, and oh-so-chic. After years in the corporate world, Mysti swapped the boardroom for boutique life, chasing a creative dream that began with handcrafting shirts and jewelry for Disney vacations. That spark quickly turned into something bigger — and Cruz By Design was born.
What started as a fun side hustle now shines as a full-fledged boutique nestled in sunny Florida, stocked with trendy, affordable pieces (hello, Judy Blue jeans heaven!) and feel-good accessories, all curated with love. With the support of her husband and a deep love for fashion, Mysti turned her vision into a vibrant community where style meets soul.
But she didn’t stop there. Mysti’s mission to uplift and empower women led to an exciting new chapter: expanding into workshops that inspire to gatherings that celebrate, it’s all about bringing women together to learn, laugh, and live their best lives.
Whether you’re shopping for the perfect outfit or showing up for a feel-good event, Mysti’s world is your new happy place — filled with style, sass, and so much heart.
Fun Fact: Mysti’s favorite Disney character is Ariel — a redhead with big dreams, a fearless spirit, and a love for adventure.
Style Motto: “Wear what makes you feel unstoppable — and don’t forget the accessories.”
