Hi, nice to meet you!

My name is Ela Da Silva

I’m a London-based graphic designer and the person behind EDSIGN. I’m passionate about creating design that’s bold, thoughtful, and full of purpose,  whether that’s through branding, layout, or marketing. I’m continuously growing as a designer and enjoy exploring new ideas, creative challenges, and meaningful ways to connect through design.

MY STORY

Every designer has a journey - here’s a bit about mine.

I’ve always been drawn to creative expression, from sketching and experimenting with digital art to exploring fashion, culture, and visual storytelling. That passion led me to study Graphic Design at Arden University, where I’ve worked on everything from public awareness campaigns to branding and packaging projects that reflect both function and emotion.

EXPERIENCE

Alongside my studies, I work as a Marketing & Admin Coordinator at a pre-school, where I manage their social media, design promotional materials, and maintain their website. It’s given me a strong sense of structure, planning, and how to communicate clearly with a specific audience. Previously, I worked as a Digital Assistant at Circle Collective, a youth-employment charity and social enterprise. I created visual content for campaigns, social media, presentations, in-store displays, and digital platforms, and supported their brand across everything from pitch decks to e-commerce updates. I also took on administrative responsibilities in earlier roles, which gave me strong organisational skills that now support my design work. On the side, I’ve taken on freelance commissions including logos, small branding projects, and pet illustrations, which has strengthened my confidence and adaptability as a creative.

EDUCATION

I’m currently completing my BA (Hons) in Graphic Design at Arden University. I also hold a Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Art and Design from Ravensbourne University London. These studies have given me a solid foundation in design thinking, creative problem-solving, and visual communication.

TOOLS

Always learning, always exploring.

Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Canva, Wix, Microsoft Office, and Premiere Pro.
