Elliott Knouse is a creative director and visual thinker based in New York.

Growing up in rural Oklahoma, he spent weekends rearranging his room and watching HGTV... but pursued a degree in kinesiology because he didn't believe creative careers were for boys. That instinct found its outlet anyway. It started on the floor of a boutique fitness studio, where he led retail and shaped everything from floor sets to display styling. That foundation carried into styling for consumer fitness video productions, set design for podcast shows, and overseeing the full creative build of a 10,000 sq ft home... from tile and paint selection to furniture and staging. The project was later featured on MTV Cribs.

He directs photo shoots end to end, handling styling, wardrobe, set design, props, and casting. He's the co-founder of THE AGENCE a marketing agency for entrepreneurs and wellness brands, and the founder of Hustlers Sports Club, an NYC-based lifestyle apparel brand.
