What is Elixir?

Elixir is a graphics company located in the Sunshine State. Elixir consists of a staff of, well, just one. Adam Shiver.

Lead scientist

I am a self-taught designer with over 15 years of professional experience. I've worked on everything from web design to icons and illustration. Once upon a time I was also an illustrator and page designer for the sports section of a daily metro newspaper.

My beautiful my wife, Liz, and I live in Florida with our 3 cats and a ferret.

I love coffee and comic books, like any self-respecting geek, and I'm also an Apple fanboy. You can bribe me with Amazing Spider-man comics or some good-old Mountain Dew (especially in glass bottles).

You can follow me on Twitter if you so please or see what I'm working on on Dribble.
