So, here I am.
I'm more than just a pretty portfolio.
| LET'S DO SOMETHING GREAT TOGETHER | one |
|---|---|
| I'm convinced that thoughtful design is a powerful tool that can create positive impact across all projects, no matter how small. Whether it's branding which encourages a new audience to get excited by theatre, video production which confronts racism in higher education or discovering radical new ways to tackle food poverty, many of my projects question how design can (genuinely) make a difference. | |
| LET'S DO SOMETHING GREAT TOGETHER | two |
|---|---|
| I use a rich, research-led process. It's important to me that all the work I produce doesn't just look great, but comes from a smart concept led by loads of contextual and user research. If you want to see case studies of how I've applied research to my work in the past, find examples here. | |
| My design toolkit | one |
|---|---|
| I'm proficient across much of the Adobe Creative Suite, but am particularly within my happy place when using Illustrator, Photoshop and inDesign, with XD, inVision and Sketch for UI design and prototyping. | |
| My development toolkit | two |
|---|---|
| I've been developing my skills across JavaScript ES6, ReactJS and React Native, CSS3, SASS, HTML and Node.js, whilst testing with Cypress and Jest, using GitHub and deploying to Heroku. I'm on a forever mission to learn new things, so the lists are ever-growing. | |
Some testimonials
from clients.
| Kieran Bentley | Digital Designer, TUoS |
|---|---|
| Ella's an absolute pleasure to work with. I've worked with her on several animation projects and she consistently brings bold, exciting designs to the table. It's rare to find a designer as consistent and hardworking as her, who can turn work around so quickly. It's no surprise she's been a huge favourite with colleagues and senior management alike. | |
| Laura Evans | Founder, Our Kind |
|---|---|
| Ella was awesome to work with. We worked together on a couple of projects in 2019 and both times, Ella delivered loads of ideas and was fearless in her execution. It was great to have a designer on board who understood the brief and could see my vision for the project immediately. I truly enjoyed collaborating with her! | |
| Valerie Sadoh | Founder, House of Mahogany |
|---|---|
| Ella is fantastic to work with, she is both professional and transparent and guides you through the process with ease. Ella is a great listener thus capturing your vision with minimal back and forth. Her excitement and enthusiasm when approaching work makes it all the most empowering. Ella is extremely talented. | |

| Ella’s beautiful illustrations helped bring our animated documentary project to life. I was really impressed with her talented illustration work and attention to detail to represent Mozambican culture accurately. I hope we can work together again in the future. | |
