About Elix
Brilliant ideas deserve brilliant design and a story that connects with real people.
Brilliant ideas deserve brilliant design and a story that connects with real people.
Elix Design Studio was born from a freelancer’s desire to use her skills to create meaningful change in the world. After 4 years as an independent brand strategist and designer, she started working part-time with AstroLabs in startup accelerator programs, where she quickly fell in love with its fast-paced innovative environment, finding purpose in helping impactful innovations scale and communicate their value more effectively.
Elix was born from her expertise in branding and design combined with what she's learning daily working alongside startups, program managers, instructors and investors.

We believe life-changing solutions deserve to be seen, and we're here to help you bring your innovation's true value to light!
