Hey, I’m Ella.
I’m an East London-based designer whose aesthetically charged brain turns bold ideas into unignorable visuals. In essence, I like to create the visual equivalent of a charmingly firm handshake.
Shall we make something unignorable together?
In case you were wondering..
Where it began
I recently learned the word “sonder” - the profound realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own - and it turns out it’s something I find myself in a moment of, quite often.
As designers, a lot of us share the usual traits (artistic, a bit chaotic) but it’s in the moments of sonder that I’ve come to realise it’s the complexity of our stories and upbringings that shape what we create.
My design is fuelled by not only my artistic traits but: a love for the outdoors, for food (pickles especially), for travelling, for always wanting to give everything a go and for trying to find joy in every situation. Curiosity, creativity and spontaneity are what shapes me as a designer.
Where it’s going
Having just graduated from Shillington, I’m ready to channel my curiosity, creativity and spontaneity into the world of branding. I want to keep learning, exploring, experimenting and most importantly creating.
Balise
Editorial Brochure
Editorial brochure for a property development in Toul-Rosière. Once an airbase, Zig Property reimagined it into Balise: a sustainable community that celebrates its aviation history.

Sourdog
Packaging Design
A branding project for Sourdog, a dog treat brand born from Melbourne’s artisan baking scene and a love for rescue dogs. Sourdog blends quirky artistry with quality craftsmanship.
Root
Start Up Brand
A branding project for Root, a NOLA start-up fostering community through food access and education. The brand reflects nourishment, restoration, and cultural vibrancy.
How my fellow Shillington Students describe my design ethos:
“A lot of fun fonts, bright colours, emojis, playing with the words”
Aleksandra Straczek, Shillington Alumni
"Playful, accessible to people, doesn’t overthink, really relatable content, not pretentious but effective, colourful and identifiable"
Serafina de Piro, Shillington Alumni
Like what you see?
Well, good. I’ve worked hard and I love design. Good design is subjective but GREAT design transcends opinions - it solves problems and sticks with you.
