About the Director

A Gift for You:

Please enjoy my personal map of delicious Philly spots.

Cultivated over 16 years with layers of history, as sweet as my favorite red onions.

By day, I am the goth “Pepper Pots” type, specializing in the intersection between coordinating people and the modern world.

By night, my inner Norse Vampire artist takes hold and I crave to sail my ship to seek the mysteries of the universe.

Raised as a sci-fi kid on Star Trek and Star Wars, with a literary love for greats like J.R.R. Tolkien, Frank Herbert, and William Gibson. I am a future-focused Humanist through and through. I love you, simply for trying, past, present, and future. I also revel in conversations over a shared meal or beverage.

With an open​-hearted spirit I am building a raw creative space in which all of us can grow in our own unique endeavors.

I believe in your potential for good and unique greatness. I invite you to find new perspectives and the creativity within. Join the club. Try something new. Pursue your future.

I will always be grateful to my Canadian family, my chosen inner circle, the Festival friends and hippies that raised me, and APO for your years of support in all my pursuits.

Ad Astra Per Aspera.

With Love,

Elle
