About

Hi, I’m Ela 👋

I’m a UX designer based in Los Angeles, California. I help sustainable brands create usable and accessible web experiences. I also support nonprofits through Patagonia Action Works and Catchafire.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time in nature, traveling slowly, visiting museums and farmers’ markets, reading, drawing, and learning something new.

What I’m learning now:

  • Foundations of Sustainable Development, SDG Academy
  • Sustainable Packaging in a Circular Economy, TU Delft

Previous training includes:

  • Designing for Environmental Sustainability and Social Impact, Acumen Academy, 2026
  • Green Marketing Challenge, United Nations System Staff College, 2025
  • Introduction to Web Accessibility, W3C, 2024
  • Certificate in User Experience, Nielsen Norman Group, 2018

If you’d like to work with me, say hello.
