Because we had experience in both print design and web design, and because we truly loved working across both mediums, we decided that we shouldn't be completely exclusive in any one particular area.

About eljl

Who Are We?

eljl is a Portland web design and graphic design studio. A bond between two very different worlds- a simple union between two artists and designers. We are a multi-disciplinary graphic design and web design firm that prides itself on developing creative solutions for clients around the world. We provide a wide array of services from collateral and identity design to standards compliant web design and development, graphic design and SEO.

Why Not Specialize?

When we started eljl we thought about moving into one type of design and focusing our attentions in that area purely. The hard part was that we had quite a bit of experience in developing both traditional print design projects and web design and development projects.

Because of our vast experience in both areas, and because we truly loved working in both mediums, we decided that we shouldn't be completely exclusive in any one particular area of design. As a result, we have continued to develop both print and web design projects based on our own interests and on our clients needs.

How Do We Work?

Just about all of our client work is handled in house. When we need to, though, we also work with a hand picked group of external copy writers, editors and web developers. These types of collaborations allow us to provide an expanded set of services to our client base.

Who Have We Worked With?

We've been fortunate enough to work on some wonderful design projects for clients and companies of various sizes. We've also had the pleasure of collaborating with some wonderful designers and artists from time to time on personal and professional projects.

Do We Enjoy Collaborting?

In a word, yes! We started designing and creating because we wanted to have an outlet for our ideas and artwork. While we've always enjoyed working on projects of a personal nature, we've also found great joy in working and discussing our ideas with other artists and designers in a collaborative fashion. Some of these projects are developed into final products or designs, while others are nothing more than loose visions that never quite manifest. Whatever the end result, though, we love meeting other artists and understanding their creative processes.
