About

I'm Elisa (she/her), a multidisciplinary designer based in Richmond, VA, who doubles as your intuitive creative companion. As a designer, I specialize in naming 'it'—that elusive concept you can't quite put into words. My approach is all about 'getting you'—understanding your ways of working, personal policies, and aspirations.

My work has found its way into publications like ELLE and has been showcased in cities such as Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, and New York. I've had the pleasure of spearheading diverse creative initiatives, ranging from constructing online experiential websites to founding brands and supporting fellow creatives with their grant-related design needs.

I've had the privilege of remotely collaborating with several notable brands, companies, and organizations, including Where Art Can Occur (WACO), Parade, Ourside NYC, CurlMix, and Therapy for Black Girls.

2023
Logo
Brand identity
digital marketing
Embracing joyful movement, the collection was thoughtfully crafted for activities like high kicks and high-fives. Notably, this marks Parade's debut in activewear, adding extra excitement. The campaign, centered on user-generated content, fortifies brand-ambassador bonds and showcases the fresh identity. I also designed a suite of digital assets—SMS, email, and ads—to amplify the campaign's reach.

Logo
Brand identity
digital marketing
In honor of Pride Month, Parade proudly embraces an inclusive partnership with trans digital artist ggggrimes. Parade introduced a collection evoking the early 2000s, spotlighting the voices of LGBTQIA+ creatives. I designed an identity that encapsulates the essence of ggggrimes as an artist in collaboration and also created diverse digital marketing assets, including SMS, email, and ads, to amplify its impact.

Logo
Branding
I partnered with Monclair State University to rebrand their Fall 2023 dining hall, creating logos that capture diverse student experiences at each station. Our knife-focused design for the carving station embodies culinary uniqueness and modern aesthetics, reflecting the new brand identity.

Art Direction
Logo
strategy
Ari Fay, an emerging artist and songwriter from Los Angeles, is an ongoing creative collaborator. Our partnership covers the design of their logo, unique wordmark, and iconic symbol, all capturing Ari Fay's musical essence. Additionally, I've developed a comprehensive 360 branding strategy for their highly anticipated debut.

KAIKE

Art Direction
Brand refresh
strategy
KAIKE (pronounced ‘cake’), a visionary plant-based skincare brand, is on a mission to celebrate the innate beauty of our skin. Tasked with a rebranding effort, I embarked on transforming their initial branding to better align with their values. The challenge was to convey the flavored scents that define their product range, as the existing branding fell short in this aspect. Additionally, it was important to bridge the gap by ensuring that the brand resonates with mothers and clearly communicates that their products are not only intended for them, but also safe and suitable for their babies.
