Hi, I’m Elisa, or you can call me El. I grew up in Phoenix and love to be creative. Whether I’m working on a design project, in my kitchen or out in the garden, the goal is the same—make it look great.
I graduated from the Art Institute of Phoenix with a B.A. in Graphic Design and have over 20 years of experience in both print and digital design.
