I’m Elise, a proud Jersey girl with a long history of buying books (and products) based on their cover (or packaging).

With over 15 years of experience in all sorts of creative roles, I’ve had the chance to work across art direction, branding, packaging, product design, illustration, and sign art. My love of design and visual communication can be traced back to strolling cosmetic aisles and pouring over magazines as a teen in the early 2000s.

I also always had a knack for bubble letters, and skipped into the classroom the day we were told we were going to start learning cursive. Letterforms are the foundation of communication, and I will never tire of finding (or drawing) the perfect style for the project.

At the moment I’m all-in on branding and CPG. I delight in research, developing and dialing-in a brand voice, and finding every opportunity to creatively express it. I love every part of the journey to great creative work: ideating, iterating, collaborating, and perfecting.

When I’m not drawing on my iPad or up on a ladder with a paintbrush, I can usually be found trying to figure out the garden that surprised me at the house we bought in winter, baking something ambitious, or talking about how tonight I’m definitely going to get to bed early (and never actually do).
