Not quite according to plan
I never planned to become a model.
I’m Elle Voss, a Ukrainian model currently based in the U.S. Before any of this, my life looked very different.
I studied Economics of Enterprise and built my first career in furniture engineering and design.
Life eventually took me in a completely different direction — new countries, new experiences, and, unexpectedly, a place in front of the camera.
What started as something entirely new quickly became something I genuinely loved. I’m still relatively new to this industry, and perhaps that’s part of what keeps it exciting. Every project introduces me to a different creative world, a new perspective, or a side of myself I haven’t seen before.
My background in design never really left me. I still notice structure, proportion, light and detail — I just work with them differently now.
Today I travel across the U.S., work with photographers and creatives, and keep building a career I never expected to have.
Turns out, not everything needs to go according to plan.
