About
Designer. Dreamer. Storyteller
For more than forty years, Elsie has created ideas, images and environments with a unique aesthetic that dissolves the line between art and commerce. Her journey has taken her from advertising to an expansive multidisciplinary design practice encompassing graphics, environmental branding, interiors and experiential installations. Working within cultural and social contexts has always been central to her process. She feels fortunate to have collaborated with some of the most inspiring minds across photography, film, creative writing, art, design and architecture, continually expanding the way she sees and creates. Today, her work continues to shape spaces for brands, museums, workplaces, hospitals and homes, always driven by curiosity, collaboration and the belief that design should leave a lasting impression
