about

elba valverde

Elba Valverde is a content creator who focuses on crafts, DIY, and all things creative. Her work has appeared on Parents Latina, Family Fun, Mom.com, Sherwin Williams, Family Dollar, PopSugar, eHow, and more, featuring everything from styled photography and how-to videos to bilingual (English/Spanish) storytelling that brings a little more color into everyday life.

What started as a love for creating quickly turned into a career built around it, dreaming up projects, styling them just right, and sharing the process along the way. Whether it's a furniture transformation, a seasonal craft, or a new way to bring color into a space, Elba's work is rooted in the belief that creativity should be accessible, spontaneous and a little bit playful.

Elba lives in Asheville, NC with her husband, two wonderful boys, and their dog, Chi chi. She loves organizing anything and everything. When she's not working on a client project, you'll find her painting watercolors, working in the yard, or slowing down with a bit of art journaling, her own kind of meditation.
