About

Well howdy there, I'm Kait Eleniak, a gal that likes to capture moments, design things that make a difference, and hike some big ol’ mountains. Here you’ll find some of my favorite projects and get a glimpse into what I like to create when I am not sitting at my desk (hint: it usually involves some ink, film or clay).

If you would like to chat about my work, suggest some life-changing trails (seriously send me your faves), or learn why I say “heck ya” all the time, don’t hesitate!
