ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Elizabeth—a versatile designer, illustrator, and creative partner focused on making digital experiences human, helpful, and engaging.

I bring together skills in User Experience Design, Visual Design, branding, marketing strategy, and content creation to help organizations communicate clearly and show up with personality.

Whether it's designing a thoughtful landing page, crafting a cohesive brand identity, or making a social graphic that gets noticed, I care about the details and the big picture.

What I do

I work with businesses, nonprofits, and creative teams to design work that’s both beautiful and effective. My services include:

  • Web and User Experience Design: Design user-centered websites, landing pages, and templates that connect with your audience and clearly express your vision

  • Brand: Build your brand from the ground up or refresh what you’ve got, ensuring your visual communications stay consistent and strong

  • Visual Design & Illustration: Work with you to plan and create content that keeps your presence strong and consistent

  • Digital Experience Audit: Survey your digital presence—website, social, email, and beyond—and share design, content, and UX recommendations to help you connect more effectively and make a bigger impact

I believe good design should feel effortless and be rooted in listening, empathy, and curiosity. My approach is collaborative, low-stress, and tailored to you. I’ll meet you where you are and keep things organized so that you can focus on your organization’s mission.

Background & values

I’ve worked across industries, from tech to education to banking, building strong visual systems and experiences. I have a Masters Degree in Digital Communications from the UNC Chapel Hill School of Journalism and Media. I’ve partnered with in-house teams, agencies, and solo founders, and I understand how to create designs that look good and work for your users.

At the core of my work is a love for clarity, playfulness, and thoughtful communication. I’m as comfortable digging into structure and user flow as I am sketching a weird little bird to bring a blog post to life.

About me, personally

I’m a native North Carolinian who grew up in Charlotte, and I’ve called Durham home for the past decade. Back in the mid-1990s, I moved to Chapel Hill and was lucky to land right in the middle of its incredible music scene. Not long after, I joined a band and have been drumming ever since. Over the years I’ve played in a range of Durham/Chapel Hill projects, including The Pinkslips, Wembley, Horizontal Hold, Scene of the Crime Rovers, and my new band, beas. My tastes lean toward the weird side of indie rock and pop, and I think you could safely put all of those bands in that category.
