ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Elaine Aquino, a Dominican-born graphic designer, photographer, and visual artist 
Currently based in Cranbury, New Jersey. I create work that is intentional, minimal, and 
timeless, with a strong focus on clarity, thoughtful composition, and meaningful visual 
storytelling. I’m currently pursuing a degree in Graphic Design at Mercer County Community College 
College. My design work has been selected for MCCC’s 2025 Fashion Show, featured on the 
Queens Court podcast, and included in a logo rebrand for the Department of Liberal Arts at
my college. I am actively taking on freelance projects to continue developing my skills and 
expanding my creative practice.

As a self-taught photographer, some of my images have been used as single cover art on 
Spotify for artists such as Olivia Castriota and NOTNORTH. My photography has also been 
published in Rolling Stone India, Le Future Wave, and Iggy Magazine. Most recently, my work 
was exhibited in Memory Objects at the James Kerney Campus Gallery in Trenton, NJ.

Outside of my creative work, I’m a devoted mom to my three-year-old son. When I’m not 
designing or shooting, you’ll likely find me in a bookstore searching for my next read or 
Planning my next road trip.
