Elissa Rae Ecker Email and Phone Number
I am an experienced professional in the art, design, and cultural sector with over ten years of experience whose playground ranges from traditional gallery and classroom settings to creating alternative online spaces and engaging with local communities. I spend time with creative people at all points in their careers working in the roles of project coordinator, curator, maker, and mentor. Currently, I am part of the faculty of the International BFA Communication Design program at the School of Architecture and Design at KMUTT where I teach and mentor over 100 students annually and contribute to program strategy. In addition to teaching, I freelance as a project developer and curator with LIV_ID collective which has developed and produced innovative contemporary community art projects in Thailand and online with over 80 artists from 10+ countries with a focus on promoting women and underrepresented artists in 4 years. Trained as a contemporary artist in New York with a farm-girl mentality from the Midwest, I bring inventive and practical approaches to advising and creating with a focus on mutual support and a WHY NOT mentality. Not afraid to get weird and get my hands dirty. I'm always looking to grow my personal and professional network. Feel free to connect via LinkedIn or contact me directly at elissaecker1@gmail.com
