ON SET CREATIVE / ART
Ella's professional creative career spans two decades, including a clothing line carried in national retailers and featured in Vogue Italia, Teen Vogue, Refinery29, and Into the Gloss. As Creative Director at Groupon, she built and led an in-house photo and video department from the ground up — launching their first photography studio, contributing over 10,000 original assets to the library, and supervising a creative team of 30+ across 4–8 productions per week. Through original conceptual content, she drove a 25% increase in sales per click. Her production background spans fashion and commercial set work, experiential events, and large-scale installations, with end-to-end ownership across pre-production, casting, location, and creative execution.
Ella is also a multidisciplinary artist and Creative Director with a practice rooted in sculpture, design, and the spaces between disciplines. Formally trained in sculpture and design, her work is aesthetics-first and intentionally expansive — spanning installation, set design, interior environments, and object-making.
