Christy Wroniak
Founder
At a young age, Ms. Christy put on a pair of ballet shoes and grabbed a new set of crayons and started a life in the visual and performing arts that continues to this day. After years of performing in a dance company, she started teaching dance classes at age nineteen and became the manager of an art department for a printing company over the next dozen years. As a mom (and like any parent eager to help with their child’s interests), Ms. Christy volunteered as a choreographer and set designer for school plays- and that’s when the seeds of Platinum were planted. After many years and several musical theater productions later, her experience in performing arts and arts education has helped launch Platinum.
