Hi, I'm Ellen

I’m a Creative Freelancer & Explorer. I’m originally from Northern Ireland, down near the great Mountains of Mourne, now based on the West Coast of Ireland.

Creativity is my passion, but I'm also lucky enough to have it as my full time career for the past 10 years. Using my knowledge & skillset in design, illustration & writing, I want to inspire others & instil change.

 

The outdoors is my biggest inspiration to do this. It lights me up, gives me a fire in my belly & keeps me grounded. All of my personal work is revolved around this. My adventures, muses & nature learnings.

 

I love a slow life, staying mindful, getting outside, being creative. Chasing beautiful views & like-minded souls.

 

Since coming back home to our wonderful island, I’ve been hiking & swimming my way around the country, getting to know more about the wildlife, heritage & communities throughout. I try to get involved as much as possible by helping with conservation & raising awareness for local community projects.

Combining Creativity, Strategy & Storytelling

Being creative is intertwined in everything I do. I create for fun & for a living. My personal work is highly inspired by nature & adventure, reflected in my illustrations or writing. Whereas my freelance work is fuelled by a love of problem solving, brainstorming & using my skills to make a difference. Check out my services page for more information..

Vanlife

In 2019 I bought my first van. A tiny little Ford Transit Connect that I simply converted & travelled around in for 8 months of the year. In 2022 I finally upgraded to a huge Citreon Relay. Now in 2024 I'm on my third van. The first one was too small, the second too big, the third is juuust right (for now).

I couldn't be happier on the road;

working with gorgeous views

watching sunrise from bed

parking up beside friends

using wing mirrors as face mirrors

appreciating the simple things

cherishing the luxuries

slowing down, living life outdoors
