HELLO

I’m Elissa but everyone calls me Ellie. My parents unknowingly set me up for an identity crisis when naming me although I try not to dwell on it. At the intersection of creative and strategy, I’m the best of both worlds; able to envision and execute compelling designs as well as conceptualize relevant and innovative campaigns. 

I have a BS in Strategic Communication from the College of Media, Communication, and Information at University of Colorado Boulder, with an Emphasis in Media Design paired with a Minor in Technology, Arts and Media from the College of Engineering and Applied Science. 

With professional experience including brand consulting in London and creative strategy/design in New York City, I have a multidisciplinary background as both a conceptual thinker and designer. I enjoy ideating, creating, strategizing, collaborating, and learning (so basically any task that ends in ‘ing). I’m passionate and highly motivated about all things creative, and well equipped to take on anything with my agency experience working on big brands such as BIC, Nikon, Whole Foods, and Heineken.

My hobbies include, but are not limited to - roaming through health food stores, speed walking down the streets of lower Manhattan, Monday night hot yoga, and planning trips that I haven’t even booked yet.

Below you can find a list of my imperatives.
