This is me.
My name is Ellyse. I just moved to Chicago from Jacksonville, FL. I love my boston terrier, Bailey. I also love taking self portraits, circus peanuts, the smell of rain, finished screenprints, new photos, bikes, a cold day, and a great laugh.
I graduated from the University of North Florida in December 2009 with a BFA with a focus in Graphic Design. I think of myself as a print designer at heart, but I know my fair share of web too.
Below is my resume and contact information. If you have any questions at all or just want to say hey, drop me a line (I love mail)!
