About
I'm Elodie. It's like "melody," but the "m" is silent.
At my core, I am an inventive creator, an autodidact, and a human-centered designer. Most recently, I joined Paintzen as their Senior Product Designer and was promoted to Creative Director. Before that, I was a UX Designer for Red Antler, a branding consultancy for start ups. While at Red Antler, I also instructed General Assembly’s UX Design course in the evenings. I was also the UX/UI Designer for a small product incubator of Digital First Media’s venture capital arm. I graduated from Vassar College, where I majored in Media Studies and minored in Art History. My very first foray into Experience Design was actually back in college, where I designed and built an immersive 3D audio experience. This intensive project led me down the creative product design path I am still on now.
Other things I love: comedy, cartoons, and being a character, ceramics, elaborate Halloween costumes, long walks with old pals, and crate digging for dope jams. Resume Available Here.
