Wilfred Acosta is a creative producer at Elevated Thought and also currently serves in the United States Marine Corps reserve. He has formerly been involved with ET as a creative mentor, collaborating artist, and a participant in programming during his junior and senior years of high school. As a first generation Dominican born in Lawrence, MA, Acosta was raised in the City after his family came in pursuit of the “American Dream.”

 

Acosta’s work as a creative producer focuses on supporting the organization’s illustrative needs and being hands-on in large scale productions while providing direct support to the art director. In his role, he is also responsible for creating a variety of illustrations and drawings for internal and external use. He also works closely with design and social media team members.

 

Acosta’s work is not confined to the realm of aesthetics; it is a manifestation of his commitment to the refinement of his craft and social/communal engagement. Rooted in his deep connection to his community, his art becomes a vehicle for dialogue, reflection, and action.
