Hi! I’m Elyza.

I’m an Art Director in NYC and a recent graduate from the School of Visual Arts.

I consider myself to be an upside-down problem solver. I love to take on a challenge or creative brief and consider all angles of a solution, especially the unexpected ones. Outside of my love for advertising and design, I enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family, listening to… country music, rooting for the NY Mets, and experimenting with reflection photography.
