Friends By Design

 When DB approached me with the opportunity to project manage Friends by Design in tandem with evo Denver & Salt Lake City, the answer was a hard yes. As a ski and snowboard industry, we on the in side have been feeling an ever-growing division amongst brands and amongst our communities as a whole. Friend By Design was our response in taking brands from all across the globe and bringing them together for an evening under one roof and under one common goal: Creating something beautiful together. We spent weeks on zoom calls, packed our bags, set up galleries, and met friends from the other side of the world that will will cherish forever. 

Until the next city reunites us…

Spyder x SSS

I’m Elsa -  a technical designer, illustrator, and brand curator from Crested Butte, CO. To describe my career is like  looking at one well curated charcuterie board. Want to design technical outerwear? Absolutely... Need a new top sheet design? Easy. Marketing? Host a gallery show? Color forecasting? Retail line assortment? Art direct a stunning video campagne? I gotchu. Simply put, my life is truly centered by one goal: Make cool sh*t with my friends. I was born in the heart of my mum’s ski shop and through those doors, I have harnessed  lifelong experience and relationships that make the brands we love come to life. I aim to speak to the consumer in a way that is authentic and allows them a seat at our table.
