Hello from Elise!

Hi there, I’m Elise, the joyful creative at Sweet Penelope. I specialize in illustration and design for celebrations modest or grand, always listening closely to produce meaningful work that captures your story.

My Portfolio reflects the diverse tastes of my clients, and custom projects result from intimate collaboration over weeks or months. Let me channel your spirit onto paper!

It’s so easy to copy what everybody else is doing on social media, so when someone reaches out with a special request - kawaii Durian-themed invitations, anyone? - I’m ecstatic! Helping folks be true to themselves is the ultimate reward.

My home studio is just outside San Francisco, so I hope you’ll reach out if you’re nearby. Even if you’re on the other side of the world, I would love to hear from you. Let’s get the party started!
