Elan You

As an Art Director, Elan is in the relentless pursuit of “making it pop”. Whether it’s throwing down creative concepts, art directing shoots, or pushing pixels in Photoshop, she’s always ready to roll up her sleeves and make fun stuff.

Coming from an unconventional background, Elan supplemented a four-year art degree with countless Youtube tutorials and Reddit threads. The perfect mix of luck, supportive mentors, and her own sheer audacity allowed her to kick off her advertising career at Omnicom’s B2B specialist agency. There, she met her ride-or-die copywriter Haley. Now, they can be found flexing their creative muscles with the amazing folks at Drake Cooper.

When not doing the art directing thing, Elan sifts through thrift stores for secondhand treasures, Googles how to keep her houseplants alive, convinces herself that she likes exercising (it hasn’t worked), and watches one too many thriller TV series.
