Hi. I’m Ella.
a graphic designer and high school Senior from Castle Pines, Colorado.
I started designing because I noticed things. The way a book cover made me pick it up before I read a single word. The way a logo could make something feel trustworthy or exciting or calm. I wanted to understand how that worked, and then I wanted to do it myself.
Most of my work lives in the space between branding and visual storytelling. I'm drawn to projects where I get to build a visual identity from scratch, figuring out how color, type, and composition come together to say something specific. I care a lot about intention. Every choice in a design should be there for a reason.
I am enrolled in the Conservatory Program at Valor Christian and Mr G has been a huge inspiration and my mentor. He is my spirit teacher. His encouragement and my creativity has gifted me a curiosity that I love to explore through experimentation, risk taking, and a lot of failed first drafts. That process of figuring things out on my own is honestly what I love most about design. There's no single right answer, just better and better questions.
It isn’t about perfection for me. It is just about trying. Over and over.
