Hello!
I'm Elizabeth Dillow.
I can't remember a time in my life where I didn't have access to a camera or art supplies, and I have my parents to thank for that. They never treated cameras or reams of blank paper as too precious to use, but rather as a regular—and essential—part of life's toolbox. I've been making things my whole life.
I live by three creative principles:
1. Design matters.
2. Photographs tell stories.
3. It's worth it to craft the right words.
I manage the majority of client projects individually and take great pride in providing excellent service each step of the way from initial discovery to final product. For large-scale projects with more moving pieces, I collaborate with a trusted network of like-minded creative professionals. I approach my work with a great deal of thought, research, and authenticity; whether I'm working on a branding project for a nonprofit organization or your family's photographs, I never rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. It's important to me to get it right, because who wants to spend their time doing work they aren't proud of? I want you to be proud of the results, too.
COMPUTER
I've been using Apple computers since the days of the Apple IIe.
PRO BASKETBALL
Cleveland Cavaliers, forever and ever. I went to my first game in 1974. Also forever and ever: Cleveland Indians (now Guardians) and Cleveland Browns.
BEST NPR HOST
Besides all of them, Mary Louise Kelly.
CAMERA
Got my first Canon (the Canon Snappy) in 1987 and haven't looked back since. Today: a Canon 5D Mark IV.
PEN
Pilot brand. Is there any other kind worth writing with? (The answer is no, no there is not.)
MOUNTAINS OR OCEAN?
I love the ocean, but if forced to pick one or the other for the rest of my life, mountains win, hands down.
SNAIL MAIL
Yes please. The prettier the better. I intend to keep the U.S. Postal Service in business as long as I can.
BOOKS
I spread my love of the printed-on-paper-word around between multiple favorite bookstores and the Laramie County Library.
RED OR GREEN?
Green.
