About Elena

I own a small flower shop on the Lower East Side and paint in the back room whenever it's quiet, which is almost never. My life is colourful, slightly chaotic and full of buckets of water.

I'm looking for someone thoughtful and grown-up — someone who'll come to a gallery opening with me and then complain about it affectionately over dinner afterwards.

In Elena's own words

I geek out on

Colour theory, and the exact right shade of dusty pink.

Best travel story

Got the overnight train to the wrong country. Best week of my life.

You should not date me if

You need a reply within thirty seconds. I'm usually elbow-deep in stems.

Croissant critic, slow-Sunday specialist

I moved to Brooklyn seven years ago for a three month contract and simply never left. These days I run product design for a small studio, which mostly means I ask a lot of annoying questions and then draw rectangles.

Trail miles, vinyl crates, strong taco opinions

Landscape architect by trade, which is a fancy way of saying I get paid to think about where trees should go. Weekends belong to the Greenbelt, my dog Rufus, and a record collection that has quietly taken over the living room.

Pastry chef, cat staff, sunset chaser

I run the pastry case at a little bakery in Ballard, which means my alarm goes off at four and my hands always smell faintly of butter. Worth it.
