エリオット・ウルム

Elliot has quickly amassed a following on YouTube and Instagram for his honest, comedic, and relatable take on the experiences of being a designer.

In high school, he took Photoshop lessons and YouTube tutorials, picking up design skills on his own, and not long after, he landed his first client-based projects. These formative experiences instilled in him a love for the craft.

Deciding against enrolling in design school, Elliot opted instead to go completely freelance. In 2019, he created his now extremely popular Instagram page: @elliotisacoolguy. (He really is a cool guy!)

My career would be anywhere as big as it is now without the honesty behind my work! I’m a big believer in being as open as possible about how you work as a creative!

His work attempts to honestly depict his creative experience by using tongue-in-cheek comedy, which has won him a loyal fanbase across social media platforms.

アドバイス
