What about Elena Giavaldi? 

1. She has a pleasantly rythmatic name.
2. I discovered that she’s Italian, so point No.1 is a given …
3. Her work has popped up in W magazine, The Atlantic and Fast Company magazines … 

But none of that is impressive as her library of well-developed talents, which range from illustration, layout design, useable and attractive templates, screenprinting and more.

Her pattern-a-day project alone has turned into an impressive body of work.

Elena’s portfolio has the unique ability to captivate and inspire, without appearing pretentious, over-thought, or too dependent on trends. Someone to watch!

(And PS, lots of people online love her too. Just jump on the bandwagon.)
