About me
Studio owner
Elena Hartley
Born and raised in good ol' Atlanta, GA, I graduated from Oberlin College in 2018 with a double major in geology and chemistry. In 2019, I earned a Certificate in Science Illustration from California State University, Monterey Bay.
I will take on most science related projects but I am best equipped for topics relating to climate, geology, agriculture, chemistry and physics.
I operate out of San Francisco. I worked as an Editorial Production Lead of Multimedia at Newsela for 5 years and created over 400 educational figures for science, language arts and social studies content.
Outside of science illustration, I write comics, paint, take care of my dear snakes and puppy, of course, collect rocks.
What does it stand for?
E stands for me! It's my family's given nickname.
Lab (short for laboratory) represents any place where scientific research is done.
Arts... well, that's obvious.
