Available to hire
Hi, I’m Elena Pogia, a design student at RMIT with a passion for branding, illustration, typography, and UX. I’m approaching graduation in 2025 and I enjoy turning ideas into clear, engaging designs. I value sustainable design, collaborative teamwork, and acknowledging First Nations histories in all projects.
I’m building a freelance practice and tutoring others, working with clients to craft illustrations, branding guidelines, posters, and more. Notable experiences include RMIT Open Day lettering and a zine featured at NGV’s 2024 Art Book Fair, which have strengthened my commitment to environmentally friendly practices and storytelling through design.
