elizabeth van auken
Elizabeth has been involved in storytelling in a lots of ways. She has worked as a teacher, curriculum designer, project and marketing manager, set and wardrobe stylist, and writer. Most recently, she became a certified floral designer (a true biology geek), dabbled in calligraphy and letterpress printing, and researched and archived hundreds of antique and vintage items. Let's just say, she has lots of interests and an equal number of skills. At the center, there is always teaching and learning.
Elizabeth loves collaborating with others to design the perfect project, or share an ideal lesson. She has a unique way of crossing disciplines and finding creative inspiration to complete compelling work. From vanguard photo shoots, to challenging multi-media curricula, her projects are top notch. She has earned a variety of awards including:
-

- An Addy Award , Citation of Excellence, for Story Boutique logo design
- Recognition by Business Card Observer for business card design
