HELLO!

I’m Elliott Gilardi — a designer and visual artist who never stops creating. From brand identity and marketing campaigns to illustration, painting, and custom footwear, I love transforming ideas into visuals that connect, inspire, and stand out.

 

Originally from Troy, OH and now based in Cincinnati, my work has reached far beyond. I’ve designed logos, apparel, and graphics for brands, led marketing initiatives, and also built a niche hand-painting footwear business for professional athletes. My client list includes 20+ Major League Baseball teams, 3 NFL teams, and multiple Division I programs, as well as collaborations with brands like Haribo, Taylor Morrison, and Core Hydration. My projects have been featured on television, highlighted in newspapers, and worn by athletes at the highest level.

 

After earning my BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Dayton, I explored the full scope of design — from digital graphics and rebranding to apparel and print. As a Designer & Marketing Coordinator at ITW Hobart, I focused on website design, email campaigns, and brand refresh projects, blending creative vision with strategic communication.

 

At the heart of everything I do, I’m passionate about creating work that tells a story. Wether it’s a brand identity, a campaign, or a custom illustration, I believe design is about more than visuals — it’s about making an impact.

 

For me, the best design is bold, personal, and unforgettable. Every project I take on is crafted with the client in mind, whether that’s a global brand, a small business, or an individual athlete. I’m excited to keep collaborating with organizations and people who want to bring their ideas to life in meaningful, unexpected ways.
