Hi, I’m Chandler – founder and curator of chandlercrews.com, not necessarily a lifestyle blog, but a virtual kaleidoscope where anyone who visits, gets a colorful glimpse at every single version of myself – fragments of my life through broken pieces (literally) and multiple metamorphoses. 🦋 Ever since I was 16, I have been showing the universe all facets of myself in full transparency. 🪩 Millions have watched me grow, evolve and transform – personally, physically, and professionally into the woman + social butterfly I am today. 👩🏼💻 This is my creative outlet where I can better connect with my audience. 🫶🏻 Here, I am candidly and unapologetically Chandler…so, if you see a grammatical error, typo, or one damn too many ‘shit’ and ‘fuck’s…no you didn’t 😉 (but if you did, my mom already bugged me about it)
Most of my content spans from my own life and is targeted to those who are seeking their own personal, physical, and professional growth or who are looking for new opportunities and advancements when it comes to treatment(s) for achondroplasia and other forms of skeletal dysplasia. When it comes to personal and physical growth, I am not an expert in any way, shape, or form other than my own personal experiences. If you would like to know more about my personal experience(s), contact me here – my inbox and comment sections are always open. However, if you are looking for a Communications Professional specialized in social media management, content creation, event + conference planning, and public speaking – let’s work together!
I’m best known for breaking my bones…well, having them broken for me. It all started when I was 16 years old and documented my journey through limb lengthening on Facebook. While growing (literally), I developed a passion for advocating and bringing awareness to unapologetically changing your body, mind, and lifestyle. Being the first person with achondroplasia to document their journey through the treatment every leg of the way in real time through blood, sweat, and tears, my content and controversy became viral.
I spend most of my days developing content, engaging with communities, and networking with industries to create a better social world between advocates, leaders, and organizations within patient populations, healthcare and biotech industries (while also being an expert on all things pop culture).
When I’m not online, you’ll either find me in barre or yoga or in front of the TV with Beau binge-watching Olivia Benson take on heinous crimes in NYC or the BAU traveling on their private jet to catch their latest unsub (I love TV).
@friends in press + media:

At 16 years old and 3 feet 10 inches tall, Chandler became the first person with achondroplasia to actively document their journey through the process in real-time through daily entries gaining her a major online presence. She documented her journey not only for herself, but to debunk all of the rumors and misconceptions surrounding limb lengthening for dwarfism which is very controversial. After three limb lengthening procedures, Chandler stands today at 4 feet 11 inches tall and with longer arms.
