About US

At ELBY, we tell your brand’s unique story with character, impact, and connection.

Boring isn't in our vocabulary.

We believe in building brands that stand out amongst a sea of sameness. We lead our projects with kindness, compassion, hard work and a lot of Type A borderline-crazy organization.

We want to take you and your brand on a journey of transformation, leaving you in awe and wondering why you didn't work with us sooner.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Meet Lauren

It all began when I downloaded a bootleg version of photoshop in 2008.

Growing up, one might have called me a ‘hobby collector.’ I was deeply passionate about everything from photographing nature, painting birch tree forests and writing silly novels. When I discovered the feeling of bringing my ideas to life on the computer, it was unlike anything I had ever experienced.

From that point on, I knew that design was my true calling and it’s only brought me more joy throughout my 9 years of experience. I’m inspired by other passionate entrepreneurs, like you! I’ll always be your biggest cheerleader and business partner. I believe in relationships that go beyond the contract. I am proud to share that I am also now a design educator at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.

doesn't have to be boring

Pricing ranges widely from project to project, but our clients can expect to invest in the four to low five figure range. We absolutely offer payment plans with every project! For higher investment projects we typically split payments into three to four monthly installments, while lower investment plans are split into two equal payments.

Determining a return on investment for branding isn't quite as simple as crunching numbers. We have found that our past client ROIs included: increased confidence to sell and pitch their products/services, the ability to raise their prices, attracting higher quality leads or a more aligned audience, and feeling energized and aligned with their business. Plus a gorgeous brand that stops viewers in their tracks!

Our philosophy is based on having a joyful experience as well as a simple and organized one. Our projects are managed within Notion (aka the greatest organizational software of all time). We make things super streamlined so you always know what's happening and what's coming up next. We are here to put your mind at ease and take the weight of design off your shoulders.

Most of the time we are able to work with potential clients to find a solution to their problems that fits within their budget. We have multiple pricing tiers that align with different scopes of work and outcomes. Looking for something super quick (like a brochure design), but don't need to invest in a brand identity? We also offer half day and full day rates for quick turnaround projects starting at $600! So the short answer is yes, please inquire! :)
