Sesame Street was the idea of producer Joan Ganz Cooney and Carnegie Foundation vice president Lloyd Morrisett . Their goal was to create a children's television program that would be educational .
I'd predict Caroly Wilcox built, or at least supervised the building of Elmo.
The puppet that became Elmo appeared on the show since the 1970s, and Wilcox supervised the Muppet Workshop for Sesame Street until retiring in 1990.
If you're talking about who created the personality of Elmo, that would be Kevin Clash. He has voiced and performed Elmo since his debut in 1985 until 2012.
It should noted that the puppet that eventually became Elmo had been around for years. The puppet was puppeteered and voiced by Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt prior to 1985.
In 1966, The Carnegie Institute hired Joan Ganz Cooney to study how the media could be used to help young children, especially those from low-income families, learn and prepare for school. Cooney proposed using television's "most engaging traits", including high production values, sophisticated writing, and quality film and animation, to reach the largest audience possible. Cooney suggested creating a program that would spread prolearning values to both viewers and nonviewers (including their parents) that would affect them for many years after they stopped watching it.
