✦ hello, nice to meet you! ✦

Profile-Spring2023.JPG

I'm Elley Ellison, a UI/UX + Visual designer. I studied new media design at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York and graduated cum laude in May 2021.

I am always looking to create a different perspective though design and improve the experience of a new future. I have a love for traveling, trying all sorts of food, finding new music and online gaming. My inspirations come from nature, art and the psychology of human emotion.

I'm very passionate about combining visual design with motion to create prototypes that display the importance of interaction with technology.
