About Me

Hey there!

I'm Ellie, and I love making stories come alive.

I just completed my Masters in User Experience Design at the Victoria University. Before that I graduated from the University of Otago with First Class Honours in Design for Technology.

I also have a Film Studies minor; I've always been fascinated with how films are made, from concept to final release, so studying the process academically was a really rewarding experience for me!

I'm also hugely into geek culture, enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy books, webcomic enthusiast, have an affinity for rock climbing, and love dinosaurs.

I moved to New Zealand in 2010, having grown up in England, and I have never looked back.
