Multimedia Designer

Inspired by her loved ones' health experiences, as well as her own health journey,
Elisa has found health literacy to be the space in the world where she can really
make a difference. She sees the point where science, education, empathy, and art converge as the key to effective communication.

Elisa believes that when a team of people come together to create with health
literacy in mind — each person bringing their unique talents and lived experiences to the table — the process and the result can be magical! With the help of the HLM team, she develops meaningful digital content every day (from social media graphics to animated videos), bringing together evidence-based information, clear language, and creative design, in a way that educates and empowers those who come across it.

Elisa's creativity predates her time with HLM: She has worked as the social media
and visual content creator for her husband's chiropractic practice, which they established in 2011, starred in stage productions (her favorite roles have been Wendy in Peter Pan, and Marian Paroo in The Music Man), and has two online print-on-demand stores where she sells her artwork. No stranger to social media campaigns, Elisa created a vocabulary word-of-the-day campaign for YouTube, spanning 2 full years. She was able to utilize her writing, music, and performance skills to help educate people in a fun, light, and concise way. She is especially passionate about nature, traveling, mental health, art, honing her plant-based culinary skills, exercise, Qigong, and mindfulness meditation — so she's right at home here at HLM.

Elisa holds a Bachelor's Degree in music (vocal) and art from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.
