Hello there.
Nice to see you.
Let’s make the world a little more colorful.
I’m Elisa, a freelance animator, motion designer & illustrator with head and heart.
I think in motion – across animation, ideas and perspectives. Always curious. Always exploring.
Diving deep and simplifying complexity. Tweaking curves, rhythm and dimensions. Constantly looking for the smartest ways to turn colors, shapes and motion into thoughtful visual systems, meaningful stories and brand identities with personality.
Graphics that move. Experiences that stay.
Things I like
Getting lost in creative flow ♥ Learning something new ♥ Being passionately curious ♥ Creative chemistry ♥ The magic that happens when a team clicks ♥ The sweet spot between precision and playfulness ♥ Sharp shapes & soft gradients ♥ Bold colors & abstract minimalism ♥ Changing perspective ♥ Hopeless optimism ♥ Authenticity ♥ Losing track of time on dancefloors ♥ Always finding the silver lining ♥ Music ♥ Euphoria ♥ (Slow) flowers ♥ Poetry ♥ Melancholy ♥ Humor over drama ♥ No need to be serious to tackle serious issues ♥ Sunset drinks with a view ♥ Traditional craftsmanship ♥ Working with my hands ♥ Hosting ♥ Gardening ♥ Bird watching (and pretty much everything else that grows, crawls, flies or blooms) ♥ Roller skating ♥ Wide horizons ♥ Open minds ♥ All shades and colors of the sky ♥ Nature’s light FX (caustics, shadows, light rays, rainbows, iridescence, sunglint, fog) ♥ Always choosing the window seat ♥ Nostalgia
