About me
I'm a passionate visual communication designer inspired by authenticity, creativity, and diversity.
Growing up in South Africa during an exciting and dynamic cultural transformation, I learned that design is a bridge that connects everyone. Having lived internationally—most recently in Mexico—I’ve drawn inspiration from my travels across Europe, Canada, the U.S., and Africa, shaping my visual communication approach.
With 20 years of experience as a multidisciplinary designer, I understand the unique challenges entrepreneurs and established businesses face in branding and design. My journey, though unconventional, has equipped me with valuable insights that I now share with fellow business owners.
I specialize in crafting custom design strategies, helping teams implement corporate identities, and ensuring your brand stays relevant in a fast-evolving market.
I also believe in the power of space as an extension of a brand. Whether interior design or storefronts, I create environments that reflect your brand’s values and resonate emotionally with customers. From the layout to the lighting, every detail matters in creating an immersive brand experience that builds engagement and loyalty.
Your business and brand likely share my values—authenticity, creativity, diversity, and a passion for standing out.
Photography is a key part of my design process, allowing me to integrate unique images that capture a brand’s true essence. These original photos help tell a compelling story, evoke emotions, and create meaningful connections, making your brand stand out in a crowded market.
My goal is to help you tell your brand's unique story through design, making sure every interaction leaves a lasting impression.
Outside of my design studio, you can find me enjoying small-town New England life with my husband and two kids—cycling the rail trail, gardening, or working on a renovation project.

We had the pleasure of having Elani design our logo at Slabbert & Slabbert Attorneys, and we're thrilled with the result. Her creativity, attention to detail, and responsiveness captured our brand perfectly.
