Ellie has excellent budgeting skills, design skills, and is an innovative thinker with an imaginative approach to how the arts can support meaningful social change.

'Our work with Ellie proved to be a very successful enterprise for us giving valuable time and support to reflect on our practice, identify our strengths and vision for the future. Her ability to clearly and simply structure and focus the mission scope and programme, to listen and prompt key questions and to interpret all the archive and discussed material – distilling it into useful tools for us to move forwards has been vital.
Her work has helped us to gain a new confidence through understanding where we have come from and how we hope to develop in the future.'
Sally Daniels, Architect at Tangentstudios

'Ellie brought fresh eyes for me with her brilliant exhibition [Who Made My Clothes?]. I have been consistently impressed by both her design and communication skills. Ellie is a very friendly professional person who wants as many details as possible in order to deliver the right products. She is an amazing designer and her creativity goes well beyond any boundaries I have ever seen.'

'It has been inspiring to work with Ellie for so many reasons. Her work ethic is second to none and her passion for creating artwork that is participatory, meaningful and pushing for positive change and social justice is her driving force. Her positive energy is infectious and Ellie has energised the team with encouragement, motivation and innovative solutions and ideas at every point of our collective creative processes. Her creativity, talent and extensive experience in project management and the Arts also mean that she has not only been a joy to work with but has added a huge amount of skill that has created professional and impressive designs and artworks.'
