The pursuit of purpose and generosity should feel deeply human, creative, and alive.

I’m Elena. A design coach and photographer who lives in a world of “&s”; exploring the space where life meets creativity, purpose meets play, and focus meets curiosity. I work with people who are driven by a deep desire to do good in the world and their community.

What brings you here today?

  • Photography

    Are you still using that old profile photo that barely resembles you anymore? Or maybe you’ve made big life changes and are ready to put yourself out there again? Whatever the reason, it’s time for portraits that reflect your next iteration. The real, authentic, brilliantly-you version.

  • Coaching

    We often leap from one thing to the next without pausing to look around. In the rush, we can lose ourselves at the center of the movement. I’m here to be your partner in designing a life you love: a space to pause, check in with what really matters, and make your next move one of both confidence and intention.

  • Philanthropy

    Whether you’re a nonprofit leader facing a moment of change, a board navigating strategy and sustainability, or an individual looking for strategic support on your philanthropic journey — The Good Philanthropist offers thoughtful partnership to support the work that matters most.
