Elizabyth Harrington
Artist, Author, Digital Program Manager and Yoga Instructor
Elizabyth has spent most of her career as a team-builder and agile evangelist in the digital space, where she developed a reputation as the calm cool head in the room when everything’s on fire. A talented artist and graphic designer, she’s worked with companies such as Disney, Toyota, Fandango, Nike, Korbel Champagne Cellars and others in either a designer or project manager role (sometimes both!).
A natural born storyteller, Elizabyth has written several books and short-stories across multiple genres. For most of a decade, she was the executive director of 9 Bridges, a non-profit writing community, and led a verbal critique group based out of Portland, OR. She has given talks and workshops on various aspects of writing and publishing.
She is also an avid artist, specializing in pen and colored pencil drawings. Some of her favorites are featured on this site.
Elizabyth currently lives in Madison, Mississippi with her husband Mark and a menagerie of woodland creatures, a couple of opinionated cats and a dog who’s somehow convinced he’s a cat reincarnated as a German Shepherd.

John Basile
Owner, Numerics
I had the pleasure of working with Elizabyth for several years. Elizabyth designed many, many app interfaces for us. Her keen eye and graphic skills would produce nearly photorealistic pitch art that made all the difference in closing the deal. Can’t recommend her enough.
Jack Cardinal
Owner, Intomotion
I cannot laud Elizabyth highly enough. An icon for women in technology. She has been an amazing mentor as my own career evolved. She is my role model, my heroine and the person I’ve called on for advice on the toughest situations.
