HI, I'M ELLIE.

I'm a Los Angeles based director and creative leader working in film, television, music and marketing. I’m a Netflix alum and honored to be on the 2024 Adweek Creative 100 industry leader’s list.

Comfortable wearing multiple hats, I take on a broad array of projects from directing to creative and art direction, creative strategy and writing. I'm a big picture thinker and my strengths lie in creating high level concepts that translate fluidly to content across all mediums.

I bring concepts to life with (almost annoying amounts of) attention to detail that creates arresting and disruptive content. I love telling stories-whether the medium be a stunning image with a concise message or a short film- and making things that make people feel something and rally or ignite fandoms. Most importantly, I love to have fun with my team and never take myself too seriously.

When I'm not working I'm usually outside exploring the beautiful state I call home, at a concert or in another country surfing and scuba diving. I toy with the idea of selling my belongings and moving to Mexico on a monthly basis.

I've been fortunate to work with various IPs, brands, studios, musicians, artists and organizations including: Netflix, Disney, AppleTV+, Marvel, 20th Century Fox, FX, DC, MAX, HBO, NBC Universal, Paramount, Paramount Plus, Lionsgate, Warner Brothers, Peacock, The Roku Channel, Jagermeister, Warner Music Group, Coca-Cola, Target, Google, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Hollywood Bowl, Glaceau, Red Bull, Neutrogena, Nixon, Ralph Lauren, Neiman Marcus,  Missoni, TED, VeeV Spirits, Alzheimer's Association of America, Live Nation, Veuve Clicquot and more.
