Elena Riley
I recently graduated from Agnes Scott College with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Arts. I have experience in digital media, publishing, visual storytelling, and content creation. My work combines artistic expression with technical skills in graphic design, web development, filmmaking, and editorial production. Through roles such as a Digital and Visual Literacy Peer Learning Assistant and Vice President of The Aurora Literary Arts Magazine, I have developed a passion for helping others engage with creative and digital tools while producing meaningful, accessible content.
My interests include visual design, multimedia storytelling, literary arts, and community-centered creative work. Whether I am designing publications, building websites, editing submissions, or creating original artwork, I enjoy projects that connect people through compelling narratives and thoughtful design. As I continue to grow as a creative professional, I am excited to explore opportunities that blend art, technology, and communication.
