Bio
Sarah Kate (Kiriliuk)
Elyssa is an incredibly professional designer and her years of experience and creativity are evident when you work with her. Not only does she take the time to really understand your brief, but she comes to the table with a process for design that makes her easy to work with. Her ability to translate a brand strategy into a visual identity is exceptional, as is her creative approach to getting to what the client wants. I would highly recommend Elyssa for any brand creative needs!

I had the privilege of working with Elyssa on TEDxToronto 2019, when she volunteered her time as a Senior Art Director. Elyssa was instrumental in helping design our visual identity and bring it to life across many different mediums - from online, to printed books, and large format printing. Elyssa was wonderful to volunteer with, and gave our organization so much of her time and effort, even stepping in last minute to help with urgent deadlines. Her artwork was top notch, and we're really proud of how our 2019 theme came to life!
