Elena is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Atlanta, Georgia. She is a graduate of the Yale School of Architecture, having earned a B.A. in Architecture with a Design concentration. Elena’s work explores the intersections of art, architecture, and object-making, driven by a deep passion for materials, handicraft, and design—particularly within the fiber arts. In the summer of 2022, Elena was awarded the prestigious Harvey Geiger Traveling Fellowship, which enabled her to conduct in-depth research on the relationship between traditional textile-making practices and spatial design across Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru. Her studies illuminated the cultural and spatial significance of textile art, inspiring her continued exploration of these themes in her work. Outside of her professional pursuits, Elena dedicates time to her crafts; she is often found embroidering, weaving, and crocheting small fruits.
