My story

Hi! I’m Elisa (« a »-« lee »-« z »-« ah »), the woman behind this studio. I was drawn to design as a teenager, and went to study graphic and web design in Uni. Fast-forward 4 years, I got my first job in a digital agency. I was so excited. Everything was running smoothly and going according to plan. At first.

Two years into the job, I found myself burnt-out and deeply unhappy.
And I knew, something was missing. I needed more. I needed a purpose.

So I left my beloved country (Belgium), to move to Melbourne, Australia. I needed a change of scenery, a challenge, and I needed answers.

On the other side of the world, I found love (s/o to my amazing partner), and I found myself. I realized I didn’t need to be a part of anyone else’s business. I could be my own boss and run a business my own way, according to my values, my vision, and make true connections along the way.

Being a feminist and advocate of women’s rights, I knew I wanted to work for women in order to help them find confidence and clarity through design and ultimately, grow the successful, impactful business of their dreams.

Work with me

Kind words

I can not recommend Elisa enough. I am so grateful that I was able to work her on my branding. She was nothing short of amazing. Elisa is extremely talented and professional, delivering me more than I ever could have hoped for. She was approachable, kind and very patient. I highly recommend her! Definitely 5 stars.

Laura, from Tribelle

I’ve had the pleasure to contract with Elisa so she could help me build the website of my (at the time new) media outlet. Throughout all phases of the creation process, Elisa has brilliantly responded to any single one of my requests, and has never failed to meet my high expectations. Whenever my demands were a bit challenging, she made tremendous efforts and sometimes researched for several hours to make sure she could deliver exactly what I asked for. Moreover, her customer services are top tier. She has more patience than anyone I know, she knows how to communicate with her clients, goes out of her way to take care of them, and make them return! Overtime, I’ve gained complete trust in Elisa as a human being, skilled professional, and her creative vision.

Savannah, from Work The Magic Within

We’ve had a lot of positive feedback on the website and super grateful to have worked with you through it all. The booking system has been one of the highlights of the website, it’s so great that clients are getting on and booking. I don’t know how we ever lived without it! Thank you for making this all process smooth and fun!

Jade, from Central Accounting Co.

Thank you Elisa for helping me grow my business. You gave it a real identity and created a website that’s intuitive and easy to use, not only for my clients, but for me too. I can never thank you enough for all your work. I’m so happy! I absolutely LOVE how everything looks. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for brand and web services.

Shana, from Astrolya

I just had a look at the design, and I'm actually getting emotional, thank you so much! Everything looks amazing and just so much more like us! I can't wait for [our website] to be online, this is gonna be a real game changer.

Pauline, from In'fluence Magazine

As the community manager and content creator for Maniet Luxus (leading Belgian shoe reseller), I had the chance to work with Elisa on some of our marketing collateral. She provided quality work, always in a timely manner. She also brought new ideas to the table which was greatly appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her!
