CREATIVE PROJECT MANAGER/PRODUCER/PHOTOGRAPHER

Creative work, produced with taste and follow-through.

I work across production, photography, podcasting, marketing, and community storytelling. I help shape the idea, organize the moving parts, and deliver the work with care.

About Elsa

I care about work that feels alive.

I am a Seattle-based creative project manager, producer, photographer, and podcast host. My background moves through commercial photography, video, studio operations, live events, editorial work, theater, and community storytelling.

I am useful when there are a lot of moving parts and the work still needs to feel personal. I can build the plan, coordinate the people, protect the creative direction, and stay close enough to the visuals to know what is working.

I am especially drawn to projects with people in them: identity, representation, recovery, place, memory, and community.
