Hello, I’m Elyse.

I bring design leadership & product innovation to early stage tech companies.

I’m a design & product leader with over 10 years of experience working with founding teams - often showing up when there is 0 product, 0 customers, $0 revenue.

Currently, I am the Founder & CEO of Mercurie, a digital design consultancy providing fractional creative leadership to visionary founders & growing companies.

I am also a visiting lecturer & design critic at Massachusetts College of Art & Design, teaching the nuances of product and ethical service design to the next generation of designers.

Previously, I’ve held VP & foundational design roles at startups like Drift ($1B valuation), NDVR and Runkeeper (acquired $85M). My work has been used by over 100 million people all over the world in B2B & B2C spaces.

Outside of work I am an 🎨 artist, 🛠️ maker, 🐕 french bulldog enthusiast, and aspiring 🌷 horticulturist.
