“Crayola Experience is where the magic of Crayola comes to life,” said Victoria Lozano, senior vice president and general manager of Crayola Experience. “We want kids to be more engaged in the kids of experiences we deliver that will inspired creativity, and our Kid Chief Experience Officers will help us with that.”
