Stephen Crowley
Founder, CRYPTSPACE.COM

Stephen Crowley is a 16 year veteran of the Cold War and the War on Terror, spanning a period of 25 years. Also an entrepreneur,

artist, and visionary founder of CryptSpace, Stephen brings a rare blend of military discipline, creative excellence, and technological

foresight to every project he undertakes.

As a U.S. Army veteran, Stephen served honorably during a distinguished military career, including a combat

deployment in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) where he earned a Combat Action Badge (C.A.B.). His experience operating in

high-stress, high-accountability environments instilled a lifelong commitment to precision, security, and resilience — principles

that are foundational to the CryptSpace platform.

Following his first military service, Stephen transitioned his talents into the creative arts, becoming a Scenic Artist with

the legendary Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) Scenic Art Department, led by Bill Anderson, winner of the Art Directors Guild, Lifetime

Achievement Award. Stephen was also a proud member of the IATSE Local 816, Scenic, Graphic and Title Artists' Local,

contributing to the creation of immersive, world-class environments for Disney’s global entertainment projects. This experience further

honed his expertise in building enduring, story-driven worlds — a skillset that now powers his vision for CryptSpace.

Stephen’s journey — from battlefields to creative studios to blockchain innovation — reflects a lifelong mission to

preserve, protect, and inspire. Through CryptSpace, and $RELIC, he is pioneering a new era where creators, fans, and

historians can immortalize their ideas and ensure their legacy lives on.
