EDEN ELAMWORK | ABOUT
I am from Washington, D.C.—a city where politics shape daily life and policy conversations echo through every neighborhood. Growing up surrounded by institutions of power sharpened my interest in how systems are designed—and for whom. I’ve always believed that the most pressing challenges, from climate injustice to displacement, are design problems in disguise.
My career has spanned design, film, and policy, driven by a curiosity about how these disciplines intersect to shape public systems and narratives. From D.C. to New York, Havana, London, and Cape Town, I’ve worked across cultures and sectors, exploring how creative strategies can drive transformative change.
I see design as both a tool and a responsibility: to surface what’s invisible, challenge what’s inequitable, and build what’s urgently needed, whether through policy shifts, business innovations, or compelling stories that inspire action.
