Backstory Time

Hello! It is not by chance but by design that we are meeting. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Elle Staples — I have had the passion and pleasure of working in the creative arts for over two decades. It is my calling to take something common, to interpret its meaning, and to forge it into something beautiful. It intrigues me to think of what we can create together.

An artist’s toolkit is endless. My focus areas are graphic design, photography, watercolor painting, and surface pattern designing. In my many years of work, I have found joy in capturing a magic hour in a photograph, designing a wildflower pattern for a dress, or in illustrating a witty greeting card with foxes. Beauty is everywhere and it is for everyone.

I know that together we can create great things! Go to the Collaboration page to find out more.
