About me

She has always had great interest in art and design and later found the passion for typography. Elise grew up around a huge artist family, following in the footsteps of her relatives. At the age of four, she knew that she wanted to become a commercial artist. There were endless evenings sitting at the counter, where she got private art lessons from her family members. To this day, she is influenced by her aunt and uncle that have careers in the professional art world. Elise utilizes graphic design, illustration, and typography to create strong and clever designs that attract the attention of the viewer. Elise’s goal is to become a successful Art Director.
