Hello I’m Ellie,

When I was a child I had a terrible temper. We’re talking real spawn-of-Satan vibes here. So intense were my tantrums that my parents took me to see a psychologist who told them my behaviour was typical of a highly-creative, left-handed child. 

Lucky them.

Thankfully I grew into a very calm adult and instead of throwing tantrums, I now throw around ideas for some of Australia’s biggest brands and best agencies.

My work has been recognised at Cannes, D&AD, One Show, Clios and more. In 2022 I was ranked in the world’s top 100 copywriters, according to The Drum Report.

Outside of advertising I spent many years playing drums and touring Australia in my band Dark Fair. During that time I got to support my musical heroes, Sleater Kinney, and in 2018 our debut album was nominated for the prestigious Australian Music Prize.

I love coming up with ideas and using creativity for good.

Thanks for stopping by.
