Elena is an information, data, and systems designer with 8+ years experience turning complexity into clarity. She trained at Central Saint Martins and London College of Communication, is a former designer at data design agency CLEVER°FRANKE, and has been recognised with the Type Directors Club Certificate of Typographic Excellence*, a Red Dot Award†, a European Design Award†, as well as been published by everyedition‡.
She’s a designer who loves complex challenges, driven by a relentless desire to make things that make sense. Elena brings a great mix of strength in visuals and aesthetics combined with an analytical mind, creating work that is meaningful and beautiful.
Her work is both structured and crafted with care, grounded in research, visual quality, and a deep understanding of the subject matter. Her practice spans information design, data visualisation, and design systems, and she’s drawn to projects that require synthesising complexity into clear, purposeful, and well-considered pieces. Whether she’s building a system or crafting a single thoughtful detail, she brings the same rigour to the process as to the result.
* The Type Directors Club Certificate of Typographic Excellence is a prestigious international award given to the top entries in the annual TDC Competition, honoring the finest work in communication design, lettering, and type design† With CLEVER°FRANKE
