Elan is a multidisciplinary artist and textile designer currently based in Miami, FL. She studied fashion design and textiles at Parsons School of Design in New York and Central St. Martins in London. While her background is in Fashion Design, her love for textiles and home decor led her to mindfully create art and handmade items for the home.

She is deeply influenced by the cultural commonalities of ancient civilizations through their use of materials, architecture, woven textiles and the symbols they created as the earliest form of communication. She draws inspiration from these sources by creating modern pieces that embody those similarities,  either in the concept for the collection, or in the materials she uses.
