04 — About Zacchaeus
Made in the 757, with community in the frame.
I'm Zacchaeus Elliott, a Hampton Roads artist and the person behind Zealworthy. I make murals, illustrations, and visual identities that feel rooted in the people and places they come from.
Before Zealworthy, I spent a decade at the Virginia Aquarium building exhibits and learning environments, then another decade at the Virginia Beach Funny Bone working behind the scenes of live production. Those experiences taught me to bring imagination and structure together, and to care about how people actually experience the work.
Today, I bring that mix of art, systems thinking, and hands-on making to projects that give communities, brands, and stories a bold visual voice.
