Who is she?
Info
I'm Ellen!
A leader by example
I'm a hands-on creative, always ready to dive into any part of the design process. I lead with the qualities I value in my team: strategic thinking, trust, and a collaborative mentality.
A creative chameleon
My curiosity and adaptability help me navigate established design systems with the ability to develop fresh concepts. I balance innovation with brand integrity, ensuring designs evolve with trends, meet goals, and genuinely connect with audiences.
An intuitive designer
I'm a Pisces who isn't super into horoscopes but feels deeply in tune with people. Intuition and empathy drive my approach, helping me create campaigns that don’t just look good but resonate on a human level.
A strategic storyteller
Every great design tells a story. I think beyond visuals, considering the who, what, and where to craft assets that take audiences on a journey with clear purpose.
A consumer and internet sponge
If it’s trending, rebranded, or going viral, I’ve probably seen it. I tap into my own user experiences to stay ahead, turning cultural moments into creative insights.
A visual artist at heart
Before design, there was painting, drawing, and illustration. I bring that foundation into my work, blending fine art principles with design strategy to create thoughtful, well-balanced compositions.
A Cincinnatian (sort of)
Technically, I live in Covington, Kentucky—which (hot take) could be considered one of Cincinnati's own boroughs. My city is a hub of art, sports, great food, and good beer, all sources of inspiration.
Career
With nearly nine years of experience, I’ve expanded and refined my skill set, working across a diverse range of industries. I’ve developed creative strategies and management processes in-house from the ground up and delivered performance-driven content in agency settings for national brands, CPGs, and B2B/B2C businesses.
