elfboi is
where design, utility, access, and collaboration meet
our values
-
01
design
Every tool is drawn before it is built, and drawn to be understood in five minutes. Each one ships with a light mode, a dark mode, and an artist mode made with a guest artist.
-
02
utility
Tools that each solve one very specific thing that anyone can use.
-
03
access
Understandable in five minutes and priced so it is not only for studios. Built to work for people whose eyes, ears, and hands differ.
-
04
collaboration
We work with artists on all of our plug-ins. The artist mode is how we put their work in front of the people using ours.
who makes it
-
“Elfboi” Lenny
founder
Lenny created elfboi. She designs every tool, decides what gets built, writes the courses, and builds the templates. She runs Different Fur Studios and Liema, and teaches at UCSC, CSM, and WAM.
-
Anthony Leedom
engineering, and a constant
Anthony builds the machinery behind several of the tools and works on training them. He is a music producer, and he and Lenny were in a band together at college, which is roughly how this started.
artists we work with
Every plug-in comes with three looks: light, dark, and artist. The artist mode is designed by somebody whose work we admire, and it is how we get their work in front of the people using ours.
