Haley James

Haley is a Copywriter fueled by iced almond milk lattes and the determination to put a smile on people’s faces. She tunes in from not-so-sunny San Francisco, the city she fell in love with during her college years at the Academy of Art University. Haley began her career at a local agency working on clients like Discovery Education and Doordash but is most grateful for the experience of bringing her to Elan, the Art Director of her dreams. Today she and Elan have the privilege of working alongside their brilliant colleagues on the Chevron and Texaco accounts. When she’s not wrestling with words, she enjoys strolling through the parks near her apartment and attending classes at her favorite dance studio. On any given day you can catch her planning her next trip out of the country or plotting what music festival to attend.

Q&A

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Sitting on a beach with the perfect sun-to-shade ratio listening to the waves crash. A nearby restaurant is serving up fresh mojitos and tasty appetizers and delivering them right to my lounge chair

If you were to die and come back as a person or thing, what would it be?

Who is your hero of fiction?

This was a bit tough, but it’s gotta be Samwise Gamgee. Put some respect on the Shire

I’ve been held in the warm, haunting embrace of Lana Del Rey since Born to Die dropped in 2012. According to Spotify Wrap, I listened to her track A&W 111 times last year
