COLLABORATORS + KIND WORDS
We have worked with Ellen on a wide range of mission-critical print and digital design projects. From major website redesigns and promotional material development to direct mail and outdoor campaigns, she has delivered vibrant and creative content on time and on budget. Ellen works collaboratively with printers, publishers, advertising agencies and developers to make sure that her work translates seamlessly in to whichever medium it is being deployed. She also liaises effectively with colleagues and internal clients as necessary to move projects through to completion. Her flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile when deadlines are looming and crunch points are reached have been decisive in securing the successful launch of multiple marketing efforts. She is a pleasure to work with.
-Anthony, Habitat For Humanity SF
Ellen is a driven, curious and hard-working designer who is a pleasure to work with. She has a collaborative and open ethos which is so critical for success in design. Her diverse background and education provides a worthwhile perspective on the projects she works on.
-P.J. Onori, Design Manager at Pinterest
Ellen is great at taking really complex systems of information, synthesizing them and making connections. Her organizational skills and sense of structure influence her design work allowing her to deliver highly conceptual and beautifully crafted solutions. She excels at approaching branding projects, effectively integrating communication strategies across mediums, whether print, web or mobile. She is a strong design thinker and great team player—I couldn't recommend her more!
-Indhira Rojas, Redindhi
Ellen pays great attention to detail and delivers on aesthetics, strategy and user experience. She takes the time to understand the goals and needs of the project before diving into concepts and design. She deeply cares about the quality of her work and is very curious, diligent and reliable. Not afraid to step outside of her comfort zone, she pitched in whenever and wherever needed (conducting user research, as one example). She was very forthright with her opinions and feedback, always ensuring that it was delivered in a constructive and helpful manner. Similarly, she was great at soliciting feedback and incorporating them into future iterations. A tireless contributor and collaborator, she is well-liked by everyone who worked with her. I would jump at the opportunity to work with her again.
