Growing up with a builder Dad, a Mum in Fashion, and three chaotic brothers on top of a hill in the Sunny Coast, Ella spent her days making amateur home-video films, terrible artworks and sewing concoctions, and being her Dad’s moral support on building sites. She was destined for a life in the creative world.
Not afraid to shock, Ella has a keen interest designing with a bit of mess, grime and the grotesque. Ella also loves to find the underlying darkness in a text, and favours recontextualising stories into a different setting, whether it be real or not.
Ella is passionate about bringing people together to tell stories. Whether it be around a BBQ or on a stage/screen, Ella lives for the thrill of a good story and what it feels like to escape into one.
With an interest in directing and scriptwriting, as well as design, Ella is so excited to get out into the world, and take on whatever opportunity comes her way.
