Helloooo 👋 🍋
Jelena Kolomejac is a senior creative with a hard to pronounce name. For this reason she has also been known to respond to, “Hey, you with the face.” To preserve her dignity, she hopes you’ll just learn how to pronounce it correctly.
Jelena has TONS of advertising experience. You could just trust her on this OR you could take a look at her portfolio (this website you’re on right now)! She has worked on a variety of brands ranging from snacks (Tostitos / Doritos) to tech (Xfinity / HP) to paint brands (BEHR) and all kind of liquids that quench your thirst (Dr Pepper / Canada Dry / Snapple).
She made her first ad when she was 11 years old. Her dad directed it and they starred in it together (budgets were small). After that she took a weird path away from advertising and tortured herself by studying finance for 4 years before finally returning to her creative roots as an art director. In this case it was not the journey but the destination that mattered, because that journey was full of complicated numbers and equations, and Jelena wasn’t about that life.
When she’s not making ads you can find Jelena frolicking around San Francisco, complaining to her friends about something that’s been bothering her since 2003, oil painting food, escaping to her AZ desert roots where she molts like a snake, or learning how to bake desserts like her mom’s famous baklava.
Jelena loves words of affirmation and will kindly accept them here: jelenakolomejac@gmail.com
