Passionate about innovative projects and empowering minority creatives by blending art, technology, and human interaction.

I’m Elaina Mangum, a Junior at the University of Maryland pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Technology and Information Design. I’m primarily a graphic designer, but I’m deeply drawn to all forms of art and design. I’m constantly exploring new disciplines to diversify my creative skill set and expand how I think about visual storytelling.

As a Technology and Information Design major, I’m building strong technical skills that support both front-end and back-end development, allowing me to merge creativity with functionality. I’m committed to authenticity in my craft—creating thoughtful, people-centered designs that feel intentional, unique, and true.
