Elena BertoccoHead of Comms, Branding and Design

Elena formally joined the WEMC team in 2015 as Brand & Design Lead, though her collaboration with us began in 2010 when she successfully designed materials for the very first International Conference on Energy and Meteorology (ICEM) in Australia.

Since then, Elena has continued to lead the visual identity of ICEM while expanding her role to encompass all aspects of WEMC branding. She applies the WEMC brand identity across infographics, visuals, videos, and the website, and leads the branding and design of materials for the Teal climate data tool.
Her goal is to bring clarity and structure to complex technical and scientific information—presenting it in visually creative and impactful ways.

“Design is not just making something look pretty—it creates solutions and helps communicate those solutions to people through meaningful visuals.”

Elena’s background includes over a decade working in the fashion design industry in Italy. After moving to the UK, she graduated from the University of Reading in 2009 with a BA in the History of Art and Architecture. She later worked at the National Gallery of Australia as a guide and creative workshop coordinator in the Education department (2012–2015).

Having lived and worked across the USA, UK, and now back in Australia, Elena brings a truly global perspective to the WEMC team and to the look and feel of all WEMC communications.
