Hey! I’m Elena, an art director from Spain who likes to sleep with her socks on.

HI!

I’m Elena, creative art director at Grey, where I am part of the global team working for different international brands of the network, like The Coca-Cola Company, Volvo or Pringles. Since November 2022, we have collaborated with different studios of the Grey network, such as Grey London, Grey New York, Grey Dubai, among others. Previously, I worked at Lola Mullenlowe and True.

But my creative journey actually began when I was 5 years old and started dancing ballet. Then I got older and it turned into dancing techno. In between that, I have made crafts, learnt a bit of guitar, pottery, fashion design, sung, played the ukelele and started taking pics. I’m an antsy pants.
