About Elan Creative Co.
Some time ago I found myself looking for a more colorful and feminine website theme. I wanted a place to share my hand-drawn illustrations, but most themes either lacked personality or had too many design elements. All I wanted was a simple and a little bit quirky blog theme. Because finding one seemed almost impossible, I decided to create my own theme.
At the time, I had no idea that my passion for web design and hand-drawn illustrations would lead me to open my very own design studio.
Over the years, I changed my offers from WordPress themes and branding resources to surface pattern design and hand-drawn illustrations.

I’ve always loved teaching, so in the past couple of years I have decided to share what I know on YouTube and Skillshare.
About me

Hi, I’m Cristina! Nice to meet you!
I’m a web designer and illustrator based in Timisoara, Romania.
I started drawing at a very young age, but I stopped using pen and paper when I discovered the fascinating world of computers and animation. My obsession continued into high school and college when I started developing websites. When I was fresh out of school, I realized that life as a developer was not for me. I missed the visual side of things and I needed a creative outlet, so I went back to drawing. The difference is that now I use my trusty computer and my favorite design software to create illustrations and then turn them into patterns.
I seek inspiration in nature, paintings, music, and photography. I love to discover new places and there’s nothing I enjoy more than a good concert.
