I struggled as a creative at work — then I found Elsevier
March 20, 2023I work at Elsevier because it’s a purpose-driven organization that values its people
As a Senior Designer at Elsevier, Victoria Pearson Esser uses her creative eye to design covers for Elsevier’s books.
I have always been creative. As a child, I would spend hours listening to my Walkman, drawing and redrawing people and cartoon characters until they were perfect. Once, I even used my mum’s baking paper to trace characters from Disney’s The Little Mermaid — on the TV screen!
Art was the subject I was always praised for and excelled at, which made me feel confident. Being creative was my way to cope with stressful situations, and even then, I knew this was going to serve me well when it mattered.
