Hi, I’m Elaine—a Creative Director at VSA Partners. After eight years in Chicago, I now work remotely from the mountains of East Tennessee.

My approach to design is driven by a deep-rooted desire turn complex problems into clear, compelling ideas. My approach blends strategic thinking with a strong visual perspective to create work that feels thoughtful, useful and built to last. I care deeply about craft and making things that genuinely improve how people experience a brand.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find my laptop down, exploring the Appalachians, testing out new cooking gadgets, or mid-way through my next DIY project.
