Teresa Elliott

A native Oregonian, Teresa Elliott began her writing life at Wieden + Kennedy where she wrote ad campaigns that helped define the likes of Nike, Coca Cola and Microsoft. She’s lived in Austin since 1999 and works in a freelance capacity on national ad campaigns. When not involved in advertising, Teresa focuses on novels and screenplays that don’t sell; she’s currently working on a play that probably won’t either. She’s an Emmy® winner and a world traveler; 2015 took her to Uganda to help a friend adopt a child, and to Italy for three months, where she married Rino Pizzi, an artist and photographer.
