Hi, I'm Ellie.
I create illustrations that help people connect to places, ideas, and experiences.
My background spans illustration, branding, experiential design, and the built environment. I've collaborated with architects, designers, nonprofits, and businesses to create artwork that feels meaningful, memorable, and rooted in story.
Whether it's a mural, an editorial piece, a pop-up experience, or a custom graphic installation, my goal is the same: create visual stories people remember.
