Hi, I’m Elise. I’m a design leader in the digital space.
For over a decade I’ve brought brands to life in digital spaces with the latest web trends and accessibility standards. I work with both local and global brands in senior roles at agencies, start-ups, and in-house settings.
My prior work is focused on leading and contributing to brand, e-commerce, design systems, and product teams. I love to discuss the under-the-hood of digital production design to anyone with an interest.
Some global brands I’ve had the privilege to design or illustrate for include Nike, Microsoft, Upwork, Spotify, and Autodesk.
In my downtime I illustrate & design for non-profit organizations to empower under-served communities, youth, and women.
I believe the most valuable contribution I make as a designer is the impact of the work I put into the world. Some non-profit teams I’ve been lucky enough to work with include Skate Like A Girl, The Vera Project, and Move Redmond.
I maintain an illustration studio on the side…
… called The Weather House. It features pop-surreal watercolors (made in both digital and traditional mediums.) While my career is in design, I also have a degree in Illustration & I believe every creative professional has a little illustrator in them!
You can see my artwork on my separate illustration site, elisebeast.com. There you can find and follow news about my contributions to group shows and zines.
