Hi, I'm Elly!

I'm a Boston University Advertising graduate living in NYC! When I'm not at school I split my time between South Florida and Atlanta, where I grew up, and spend my days loving and studying the ocean and collecting so many seashells that I simply don't know where to put them anymore. 

​​

I'm a firm believer in the idea that nerd culture has become pop-culture, and I'm not ashamed to unabashedly share my love for the realm of all things fantastical. At recess I convinced not only myself, but all my friends around me, that I was, in fact, a fairy. Not only that, but I was a mermaid, too. Head Girl in the Ravenclaw common room. A powerful Jedi that convinced the avengers to let me join the team. A child of Athena on a quest in my own backyard. I dreamed in broad daylight, and while everyone else seemed to let their inner child slip as we hurdled toward adulthood, it's something I still take pride in allowing myself to play today. Over the past year I've allowed myself to find comfort in placing myself into the worlds I love so much, and much of that can be seen in my portfolio.

I'm an art history aficionado who uses literature like a lifeline and still loves film photography. I'm obsessed with digging into new projects, whether it be writing a TaylorSwiftxLorde mashup that I'll force my friends to listen to while I strum the guitar or deciding to fully research and edit wiki pages on different marine invertebrates. I love to travel, to meet new people and hear their stories, to try their foods, to imagine life in someone else's shoes for a while. I seek adventures and in the end though, when all is said and done, I long to move overseas and disappear- maybe settle down in a cottage somewhere near the beach and live off what I love while writing and creating whatever my heart desires.
