About

Instagram

Former Political Science graduate turned art director, Elise chases opportunities to make art that conveys a liberating message and a thorough observation of society. Her work lies at the intersection between her passion for art, sociology, and a desire to make a positive impact at any scale. On the side, her personal art practice explores her own relation to gender-queerness, and local activism.

Elise works mainly at Innocean Berlin, occasionally as a freelance artist, and is the art director of the Berlin-based publication DADDY Magazine.
