Hello.

This is me, Elanna Allen.  I design imaginary worlds  and creatures that capture the joy of being human. Enjoy perusing my illustration, character design, drawings, animation, and television shows on this site.    Enjoy!

My Story

It started with a childhood love of sculpting tiny things, that morphed into the making of tiny clay stop motion movies that blossomed into a career of creating cohesive design languages for colorful worlds of animation and picture books.  I studied fine art at Brown University, illustration at RISD, and animation at the National Film Academy in Prague, FAMU.

I've designed and/or directed shows for Nickelodeon, Disney,  PBS, Netflix, and Jim Henson Company, and published books with Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, and Penguin Randomhouse.

You can find me in New York City, learning to play the ukulele and sing (much to the dismay of my husband, two sons (three sons, if you include my cat) and downstairs neighbors).   Say hello sometime!
