Career
Creyer founded her street-style fashion blog, Chicago Street Style, in 2010. NBC Chicago correspondent Marcus Riley filmed a segment about her first trip to New York Fashion Week [10]. In September 2011, she attended NYFW as a guest of Milk Studios[6]. Her street-style photographs have been published in print editions of Harpers Bazaar, British Vogue, and W Magazine. In 2012 she photographed Art of the Trench for Burberry's grand reopening of the Michigan Avenue flagship [11]. In 2013 she covered street style at Pitchfork Music Festival on behalf of Teen Vogue[12].
Creyer has been profiled by CNN[13] and Michigan Avenue magazine[14]. She created and starred in branded content as an influencer, which led to a career in advertising specializing in omnichannel creative[15] for Fortune 500 brands.
In October 2020, Creyer launched the friendship project Be My Friend to make new friends virtually during the lengthy Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns in Ontario. Be My Friend sparked a national conversation around isolation and the need for human contact. The project was featured on CBC, Breakfast Television[16], and the National Post[2]. Ultimately, over 1,000 Canadians joined Creyer's online Facebook community to meet strangers and make new friends organically online during the pandemic.
