Ellen leads design end-to-end — brand and positioning, growth marketing, data visualization, and the systems that hold it together. What makes her practice distinct is where it starts: she reads a business and a brand with the same fluency, which is why founders and executives bring her in not just to make the work look right, but to make the business case land. With over a decade leading design across fintech, real estate, and startups, she's built for complexity — the kind where the stakes are real and the story has to move people from understanding to action: a fundraise, a new market, a product that needs to earn trust fast. She believes design works when it makes complex things clear and clear things compelling and she builds toward both.
