I'm Elva — a Visual Development Artist and Illustrator specialising in colour and environment, based in London.

​

Most recently, I served as Creative Director on an animation commissioned by the DigiAdGood Network, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) — directing, concept designing, and illustrating the entire production. The brief centred on human warmth and tactile storytelling, which sits at the heart of everything I make.

​

I graduated from the National Centre for Computer Animation at Bournemouth University in 2025, where I directed and art-directed multiple productions. I am a contributing artist to the ORBIS art book and a host for the GAIA international art project.

​

Alongside my animation and visual development work, I create hand-painted illustration for hospitality and lifestyle brands. Through the London Café Series, an ongoing project documenting London's café culture through observational sketching, I've collaborated with brands like Tsujiri, EVE Kensington and ONSU, and have since been invited to illustrate for luxury hospitality groups, including Brown's Hotel and 1Hotel Mayfair, and designed the shop-opening invitation for Rebel Rebel Flowers.

I am open to Visual Development roles, freelance illustration, and brand collaborations. Get in touch below.
