Capture Your Own Mysterious Encryptid NFT
Encryptid: noun "An animal that has been claimed to exist but only proven to exist on-chain."
A Unique Family-Friendly NFT Project
Introverts unite as the Encryptids NFT collection celebrates some of the most legendary nature-dwelling introverts. They’ve spent thousands of years hiding from society in distant woods, Scottish lakes and on majestic ocean rocks. Now, Encryptids NFTs have been created to honor both their beauty and mystery.
Encryptids is a fun, family-friendly brand launch and NFT project of 6,000 mysterious "cryptid" creatures from the women creators Kat French & Keisha Edwards. Join the hunt for the first three mysterious Encryptids of increasing rarity to capture your own in July!
The element of story is what sets the Encryptids NFT project apart from others. More than just digital art, each character in this collection has a carefully crafted rhyming back story and a personality all their very own. This team has taken great creative care to see that these stories can be expounded upon and continue as their audience grows.
Encryptids are minted as ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain and all metadata is hosted on IPFS. Join the Encryptid community at the beginning of the search for exclusive benefits like free merch from Kat's store, the upcoming Encryptids childrens book, and a mint pass when the final Encryptid is revealed!
Just three Encyptids characters lurk in the shadows now, but once initial minting is complete holders will decide what the final Encryptid character will be, Kat will design it, and they get exclusive mint access to that most rare creature!

The Team
This isn’t just another anonymous project with outsourced designers. The Encryptids universe is being built by a diverse pair of women creators with the support and inspiration from their families.
Design - Kat French
These lovable Encryptids are 100% created and hand drawn by Kat French, the illustrator and designer behind the positively fun paper goods at Kat French Design.
Kat began in 2009 as a freelance graphic designer and now focuses much of her creative energy on her successful paper goods business. Oddly fun illustrations and a knack for witty one-liners are her specialties, so greeting cards, art prints, notepads, and stickers, are just some of the wonderful offerings available in her online store.
She has been featured on Buzzfeed.com, in Woman's Day, Country Living, and Stationery Trends magazines, and has products carried in stores across the country.
Now she is partnering with a long-time friend to launch their first NFT. The project is based on some beloved characters from her paper goods line as well as some new ones she’s dreamed up with her Encryptids co-founder!
Storytelling - Keisha Edwards
Kat first met Keisha at the beginning of their freshman year of high school over 20 years ago in a small coastal California town.
Keisha has always had a love for language and a special flair for creative story-telling. She has the unique ability to engage anyone around her in both laughter and depth of conversation. With a background in copywriting, editing, and communications, she especially enjoys writing children’s poetry and performing Spoken Word.
Kat and Keisha quickly became inseparable best friends in high school and constantly dreamed up new ways to make it through the throes of adolescence with joy and sanity.
Fast forward a whole lotta years and these ladies are bringing good things to the world as a team- this time joining Keisha’s mythical story creations with Kat’s fun illustrations in this NFT project and its spinoffs.
