About Me


I live in Los Angeles, California and am passionate about traveling. My travels to over 20 countries for photography projects have expanded my perception of people, culture, and design. I have exhibited my work and enjoy teaching photography and design classes.

My Fine Arts background drives me to experimental approaches, while my conception of Graphic Design, and Typography prevails formally structured.

As a designer I strive to strike a balance between beauty and functionality. Good design is engaging and aesthetically pleasing, but great design goes deeper by combining form, function, and clear messaging above all else.

I have always enjoyed learning and cross training, for this reason I have molded my career to explore many disciplines.

Elena is a gifted and imaginative designer who has worked with the Hispanic Chamber since 2010. If I ever had a question about today’s biggest trends or editorial layouts I could always count on Elena to know the answer.
— Karlos Ramirez, Executive Director, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro St. Louis

Elena gave my book extra love and tender care from the moment the manuscript was placed in her hands. The finished product is elegant, suits the intended audience, and fully accomplishes what we set out to do. Not only did Ms. Solis design the first edition of my book but every other edition, including the last.
