> About
Hello! I’m Eliana, a film editor, photographer, linguist, researcher, and occasional programmer interested in how images, sound, language, art, archives, and systems shape the way we understand culture. My work moves between creative production, post-production, computational linguistics, digital humanities, and personal archive building. I'm currently pursuing a commission into the U.S. Air Force.
Fun fact: I have 99% more Neanderthal DNA than all 23andMe users. _
