I’m a creative director specializing in experiential and event design. For more than 16 years, I’ve helped global technology, entertainment, and consumer brands turn complex ideas into physical, digital, and interactive experiences — from product launches and keynote stages to global conferences and cultural activations.

I develop the creative narrative, establish the visual direction, and assemble and direct multidisciplinary teams across spatial design, graphics, motion, and creative technology. I also stay close to the work, bringing hands-on design fluency to every stage from early concept through production and execution.

Elyse Marks Studio is my independent practice for creative direction, experiential design, and select special projects.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I earned my BS from ArtCenter College of Design and completed additional coursework at RISD. Outside of work, I’m usually seeing live music, looking at art and fashion, finding a new restaurant, hiking, or spending time with my husband and dog.
