Hi, I’m Ellie.
I love emotional storytelling, collaborative teams, making my kids laugh (not hard, thankfully), and scootering through Boston (my current commute). I’ve built my career on conceptual thinking and a respect for the power of design and narrative. My team describes me as: “A conceptual creative who's very collaborative, driven, and easy to work with.” My husband would add: “She’s incapable of sitting still.” He’s not wrong. I love creating, which is why I launched SILLA ROJO, my side business for custom illustrations and stationery.
