Partners & Others is a multi-disciplinary creative agency started by Eric Elms. The studio puts a strong emphasis on a balance between client driven work and self-initiated projects. With this dual approach Partners & Others is fluid but does not allow itself to be defined by a singular focus.

This becomes evident in the varied range of work that is produced. Art Direction, Artbook Publishing, Graphics, Identity Design, Interiors, Sculpture, Clothing Design, Objects and Painting all play a pivotal role in it’s output. Cross-pollination between each genre widens the studio’s unique point of view.

Eric is originally from San Diego CA. He attented Pratt Institute and remained in New York for almost 20 years. Partners & Others was formally started in 2008 in Brooklyn NY where it continuted to be based until 2018 when Elms relocated to Los Angeles, California.
