My name is Elena and I am a designer.

I am Italian and I live in Stockholm, where I try to put up with the freezing weather and to understand pizza with pineapple and curry. Here I work as a Designer in a small but lively company called Helpful Strangers, where we are very helpful at creating entertaining interactive experiences with a taste for pretty visuals and fun above all (and we love robots too).

I graduated in a broken down Italian univesity, where I developed a love for all the beautiful visual and moving and interactive things.

In the past I have worked in London as an Interactive Creative at unit9, a super fantastic agency where they make a lot of visual and moving and interactive things, and the logo is a cute double-cloud on pink background.

I used to read my MS-Dos manual at the age of 12 and that’s where my geek side comes from, I guess.

I like patterns, pandas and pop-up books which, incidentally, all start with P. I also like doodling silly stuff, memories and the quiet of my town in August. I hate rainy days.

This site is about me, my work and what happens around.

Thanks for spending some time here.
