Hello, I’m Elle Griffin.

I write The Elysian, a newsletter thinking through a better future.

My newsletter goes out to 13k+ subscribers and has been featured by BBCBusiness InsiderFast Company, The Information, Publisher’s WeeklyMeans of Creation, and Morning Brew. For my work in progress studies, I was named a Roots of Progress fellow in 2023 and in 2022, was awarded one of 10 places in Substack’s coveted fellowship program.

I am also a freelance journalist with bylines at EsquireInsider, ForbesEvery, and The MuseA portfolio of my work can be found here.

I hold degrees in Fashion Merchandising and French and completed my graduate studies in Mariology—the study of the Virgin Mary. For my final project, I recreated eight iconic images of the Virgin Mary using modern photography. They can be purchased from my Etsy store.

I live with my husband in Salt Lake City, Utah where we enjoy wandering the west in our camper van and working from remote corners of the world. I can be reached at elle@elysian.press.

Thank you for stopping by!
