Hello! I’m Ela, a digital illustrator currently based in Albania. I studied architecture and later moved to the U.S. to pursue city planning, only to realize that illustration was what my heart kept returning to.

Ela’s Lines was born in my dorm room, over 5,000 miles away from home, during a season of figuring out life in a foreign country and reconnecting with drawing, a passion I’ve carried with me since I first learned how to hold a pencil.

As an illustrator, my focus is children’s books. I create warm, cozy, and whimsical illustrations that help stories come alive, adding a sense of magic and atmosphere to every page. Through my work, I hope to bring glory to God and faithfully use the gift He has given me, creating art that is thoughtful, life-giving, and filled with wonder.
