Hello 👋

I’m Elaine, an art director and senior designer based in WA state. I’ve spent 16+ years in agencies and tech elevating brands with data-driven design thinking.

What I Do

With over 18 years of design experience, I’ve managed design teams and vendors simultaneously. I’m adept at building scalable design systems while keeping the creative on-strategy, on-brand, and on-budget.

My brain doesn’t turn off at 5pm—I’m passionate about the intersection of design, data, and technology. This enthusiasm has stayed with me throughout my career.
