Hi, I'm Elena.

I design brand identities and websites from emotions and human connections.

Hiya! I'm a Brand and Web designer based in Toronto but working worldwide (thank you, freelance gods!)

My strength and passion lie in noticing and translating emotions and behaviours into intuitive and visually beautiful design.

I specialize in developing brand elements and customized digital design outputs through comprehensive market and audience research. My work is focused on helping clients achieve their business goals and adapting to diverse types of projects with efficiency, structure, and strategy.

One of my favourite things about being a designer is working with curious and driven people whose products enhance communities and elevate individuals.

I'm a Brand and Web designer, on a mission to create intuitive and compelling design solutions for curious and driven people who enhance communities and elevate individuals.

I'm passionate about translating emotions and behaviours into intuitive and visually beautiful brand identities.

About me
I have thought long and hard about what being a designer means to me. What is the mission behind years of experience, training, and just being obsessed with art and design all my life?

And the answer came: My mission is to improve communities by conveying emotional values through a visual language of design.

I have the pleasure of working with amazing clients from all over the world as a freelance designer. And I have learned that my passion and strength are feeling and noticing the core values of people and their brands and being able to reflect them through intuitive and authentic design.
What I do:
What I'm looking for:
When not working:
I create brand identities, logos, websites, marketing assets and other brand elements for clients worldwide.
To grow into an expert designer in hospitality industry alongside curious and inclusive team.
I'm probably listening to poscasts , checking flights to Ireland and the UK for my next trip, quoting Miranda in my conversations, city-gazing, or creating a new concept design .
