Elena Resko

Published on 21/03/2022

Elena Resko is a Berlin-based illustrator and coffee drinker. Having a graphic design background behind her back, she is now full-time committed to illustration. She works with editorial, product and advertisement and enjoys a variety of subjects. Always bright, colourful and occasionally blooming, her work brings positivity and hope even while exploring complex themes. Usually you can find her at her home studio desk drawing both for clients’ projects and personal passions, but when you see the office chair empty, she is either exploring a new coffee shop in a search for the perfect cup and the best carrot cake or digging the shelves of bookshops to find a new treasure for her graphic novels collection. She always enjoys a good long walk and saying hi to all the dogs and occasional cats she meets on her way.
