Help us welcome our intern, Ellie Erikson!

Raised in the small town of Vivian, SD, surrounded with family and guided by her faith, Ellie loves the simple things in life - going on runs, creative writing, concerts, riding horse, fishing, playing sports, her dog, Sadie, and favorite verse Jeremiah 17:7-8.

Recently earning a B.F.A in graphic design, Ellie continues to follow her passion for drawing and photography, inspired by the joy of creating art that makes people happy.

She was attracted to UpFrame Creative’s internship because of the variety of learning opportunities, but quickly found out how much she also appreciated the supportive team and optimistic atmosphere.

Most passionate about brand identity, Ellie is also eager to learn about website design, marketing and social media strategies, and how design firms operate from professionals.

Ellie hopes to visit Alaska or Iceland someday! Her favorite travel experience so far has been attending the Adobe Max Conference in Miami, Florida.

Welcome to your team!
