Elitsa Mitova

I am a visual artist with over 15 years in design-related fields. I am an adventurer and I find excitement in engaging in a variety of projects–it keeps me on my toes and most of all happy. I have collaborated with an array of clients - from solopreneurs to global brands such as Nike, Sikorsky Aircraft, and InVentiv Health helping them visualize and develop their concepts, and bring
their projects to life.
I’am a creative who is in love with abstraction and draws inspiration from all aspects of the known and unknown universe.
I thrive in team environments and through collaboration while adding my colors to the mix.
