I’m a strategy and design consultant who helps purpose-driven organizations make their impact visible.

My work lives at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and design—guiding teams to distill complexity into clear, compelling materials that build influence, deepen engagement, and support meaningful growth. I partner with clients through both long-term strategic engagements and focused, project-based collaborations.

"Working with Elsie on complex multi-layered projects has been a joyful experience. Her ability to handle multiple dimensions of a project intellectually is quite hard to find in the industry and makes creative collaborations with her fulfilling and effective. Elsie is driven, in an elegant and genuine way. I am a big fan."
