Elle - web designer

Elle Gassner, she/her, the go-to gal for all things web design and front-end development. With a background as an entrepreneur, designer, and photographer, Elle embraces the title of “Renaissance Woman.” At VDM, she’s in her element, jazzing up websites and tackling tech troubles like errors and DNS dramas. Elle’s all about mixing creativity with problem-solving. Ecstatic to be part of the VDM team, she’s all about fuelling her passion for creating smooth digital experiences in the ever-evolving world of web development.

We were lucky for our years of working together, and while Elle has since moved into a new career we keep her space here as a reminder to all that she brought to the organization. We always miss you, Elle!
