Elisha Zepeda is a Senior Designer whose career started as a book lover working at an indie bookstore. Design-wise he is most inspired by Wes Anderson (aka Annie Atkins, his longtime prop designer), vintage tourism, and anything mid-century.
After being hired by Faceout Studio in Oregon, he started making design process videos that quickly went viral. These process videos have been viewed over 37 million times (!) and counting.
His cover work and their popular behind-the-scenes videos have led to features/work with BBC, Adobe, Penguin, Simon & Schuster, Amazon, Publishers Weekly, Dropout TV, and more. Apart from design, Elisha is also a multi-instrumentalist and recording artist.
