My story.

Hi, I'm Ellie.

I'm a Chicago native, photographer turned art director, and someone who's always been interested in why certain ideas stay with us long after we've seen them. As a visual learner, I've found that some things are easier to express through images than words, which is what first drew me to creative work.

Today, I'm studying Art Direction at Miami Ad School in New York City, where I'm exploring the intersection of culture, strategy, and storytelling. I'm drawn to ideas with emotional truth, strong visual craft, and a point of view. The kind of work that makes people feel something and remember it.
