About Elissa

As the founder of Matchpointe, my approach to interior design brings together three powerful elements: formal design education, fine arts training, and two decades of corporate leadership experience. This unique combination allows me to create spaces that are not only beautiful, but purposeful and transformative — whether for your home or your business.

I built my corporate career orchestrating large-scale transformations for global companies like Google, IBM, and leading partnerships with the likes of Apple and Capgemini. I understand firsthand how an environment shapes focus, productivity, and well-being. That’s why my design practice is centered on serving executives, entrepreneurs, and high performers: people whose homes need to align with their ambitions and support their best work and life.

My foundation in fine arts trained my eye for composition, color, and light, while my studies at the Interior Design Institute provided the technical expertise to turn creative vision into reality. But what truly sets me apart is my strategic mindset — honed through years of leadership — and my belief that design is not just about aesthetics, but about creating systems and surroundings that elevate how you live, work, and recharge.
