Greetings! My name is Elli Figueroa, also known as Linkenstein. The name Linkenstein came from a play on words to my maiden last name; which was Linkey. Often times I felt that I Frankensteined things together in order to create something new. Having to work only with what I had on hand. Which is where the name Link-enstein came from! 

​

     I have been an artist my whole life in various ways. Starting with singing at 4 years old, drawing not long after, and having a creative and entrepreneurial mind since as far back as I can remember. I was so administrative as a young child. Coordinating game nights, meal menus, family meetings, etc. I had a binder full of organized plans and would go above and beyond for simple tasks. As I grew, that has always followed me. I strive for professionalism and I enjoy being Administrative. It's a bit odd that artistic interest blended with that. Instead of becoming a CEO or a manager with some company, I have had the dream of starting my own business to incorporate my many hobbies and artistic capabilities.

​

Originally my vision was to have Linkenstiens Lair mash all my interests into one over-arching business, but over the years I have learned that's likely not realistic. See, not only am I an artist, But also an entomologist, Certified dog trainer, vocalist/ vocal coach, Video game streamer, and more. A very strange set of skills and hobbies that would be hard to combine into one business. Gradually I've struck one thing after another off of my list of services. Recently also removing dog training as a service provided by Linkenstiens Lair.  I now focus only on art and attempting to create whatever idea comes my way.
