Elizabeth is a visual artist with over 13 years of experience creating style guides, key art, icons, logos, character art, brand illustration, and social content for film, animation, and AAA games. She partners with award-winning agencies on projects for Disney, Marvel, DreamWorks, Warner Bros. Games, Netflix, Amazon, and NBCUniversal, combining hand-drawn typography and illustration to create visually distinctive entertainment marketing campaigns. Her work has generated measurable audience engagement, including a Marvel holiday series that earned 197.5K likes and 5.3K shares, and a Nickelodeon and ESPN Super Bowl post that surpassed 465K likes on Instagram. A highlight of Elizabeth's career was posing dinosaur characters for the 2015 Jurassic World toy style guide, an experience that reflects a lifelong fascination with creatures, anatomy, and visual storytelling. Today, that same curiosity informs her personal work, where she explores the structure, behavior, and character of extinct, living, and imagined life. Working across traditional and digital media, she creates creature illustrations, natural history artwork, and entertainment design grounded in careful anatomical observation.
