Brighten your brand or product with creative artwork & design
Hi, I’m Ellen!
I create distinctive branding with original illustrations, hand lettering and surface pattern design.
My creativity draws from over 25 years of experience in graphic design for Fortune 500 companies, small businesses to non-profit organizations.
I also license my art and have worked with Minted, Northern Cards, and CR Gibson.
I look forward to collaborating and bringing our vision to life!
