Elvira has been doodling her whole life, even back in Uzbekistan where at the time they didn’t have the little erasers on the end of the pencils. Prior to film school, Elvira was an architect - this field gave her an invaluable education in form and design, which she regularly applies to drawing and film.

She has decades of experience in multiple styles of illustration, both traditional and digital. Her architecture training gave her a proficiency in graphic design; she primarily uses the Adobe Suite in her work alongside her drawing skills.
