About Elizabeth

As a designer I try to take in everything I see because you never know what random thing will inspire your next big idea. I love to travel and to eat, and especially to eat when I travel. I think food and art are two of the best ways to get to know a new culture. Some of my other favorite pastimes include gardening, hiking, playing the piano, and photography. I grew up drawing and painting (watercolors mostly), entering art contests instead of sports competitions. That lead naturally to an education and career in Graphic Design. I still enjoy watercolor painting, and run an Etsy store to sell my work. Recently I illustrated two children’s books in watercolors. Check them out here! I also have some of my digital designs for sale on Zazzle and RedBubble. I grew up in Utah (USA), but now live in Okinawa, Japan. Whether it's mountains, desert, or ocean, no matter where I am I find nature to be source of both rejuvenation and inspiration. Right now that means I spend as much time as possible at the beach.
