About

Joshua Elkin is a multidisciplinary visual artist with sixteen years of experience in digital design, print, point of sale, painting, illustration, screen-printing and animation.

Educated in Art History and Electronic Art, Joshua started with a traditional advertising print design education in Canada, including a stint at the Rhode Island School of Design. His first job involved coming up with monthly visual concepts and art for Levis' store windows across Canada. He is a hands-on leader, in demand for his design confidence, fresh concepts and clear typography.

Moving to New York City, Joshua free-lanced as a hybrid Art Director & Flash Animator at various traditional and digital agencies. His work includes creative solutions for pharmaceutical companies and architecture firms, as well as Bloomberg, Julio and Gallo, Sony and Victoria's Secret.

Joshua eventually gravitated to the beach, where he has worked for iCrossing as an associate creative director, focused on Cosmopolitan Hotel of Las Vegas for digital campaign work and website design.

An advocate for responsive web design, he has been the creative lead for Toyota Racing and Mazda Mobile during this shift.

Josh proudly commutes from the beach by bike on a daily basis. He views his job as the perfect Yang to the freestyle arts of DJing, skateboarding, and abstract painting that he is so passionate about.
