Hello! I'm Ely* — I create bold visuals and colourful illustrations for brands who give a damn about people, the planet, and doing things differently ✌︎
Born in Argentina and currently based in Amsterdam, I team up with creative agencies and work with clients from across countries and industries to create original graphic solutions for all kind of communication needs. With a solid background in branding and packaging design, I can also work within established brand guidelines and create playful illustrations for infographics, websites, packaging and campaigns.
The eclectic, colourful and versatile nature of my work is the result of my drive for experimenting, endless curiosity, and a robust career built over two decades of living and working in different countries and cultures.
Known as Nomad Unicorn, I believe in the magic of working closely with clients, clear communication, and building strong relationships to ensure project success. With a clear brief and my creative flare I'm ready to turn ideas into outstanding work that connects brands with their audience. And with a name like ‘Nomad Unicorn’, it's clear I bring a unique touch to everything I do ☺︎

I love creating honest work for nice clients and agencies who do good for our planet, make social impact, and value sustainability.
Ethical and responsible design is the only way to preserve and sustain our beautiful planet. That's why I like to work with customers and brands that are committed to do good for our planet and genuinely focus on sustainability, not just giving a green look.
Services
Over the past 11 years, I've worked with an array of international clients across diverse sectors including culture, education, data, roller skating, and self promotion for individuals. I’ve illustrated campaigns for the city of the Hague, wall canvases for Erasmus University Rotterdam, websites and infographics for organic foods and businesses. I have also designed packaging for Spar Supermarket; and collaborated with internationally recognised designers, including projects involving major global brands like Porsche, Umbro x Eliminator JP and The Macallan. I've also contributed to the UI/UX design for multimedia guides for Tate Modern and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi in collaboration with Antenna International (now acquired by Stqry).

How it started
Before settling in Amsterdam I lived in Córdoba (Argentina), Barcelona and London, working with various ad agencies, editorials, and marketing and design studios on a wide range of projects. After completing a packaging design contract for Spar Supermarket in Barcelona, I decided to start my own magical independent journey to connect directly with clients and brands that share my values and beliefs.
About me
Left handed and vintage enthusiast with a special bias for everything from the 70s. Strong drive for a green planet, zero waste, sustainability and healthy lifestyle. Sun and nature worshiper. When I'm not creating, you can find me roller skating through the city, growing veggies in a urban jungle next to Amsterdam city center, or getting inspired at flea markets and bookstores. I'm always drinking Argentinian maté🧉 and my guilty pleasure is dark chocolate.
