About Ellie.

My first memories of web design brings me all the way back to grade school in the United States, 25 years ago, where I was tasked with creating a website for my elementary school computer class. This, along with the early 2000's launch of Neopets, fueled my eagerness to learn HTML/css and web design. A decade ago, I moved to London in the United Kingdom, where I began working in digital marketing for the likes of Aadvenik, Charlotte Tilbury and The Business of Fashion.

I started Bare Design 7 years ago, in order to establish a closer & more collaborative working relationship with brands that inspire and fuel my creative visions. I operate globally, with bases in Detroit, Chicago, London, Milan and Rome.

Let’s work together on building your digital legacy.

Get to know me.

Home?

London. I’ve been here a decade now, and have almost completed a full counter clockwise circle of postcodes. The only one left to tick off is East (where all the best restaurants are)

Paradise on earth?

The Amalfi Coast. Nothing comes close to the colour of the sea, the houses in the mountains, and the taste of a fresh caprese salad on a boat

Nationality?

Italian American - parlate italiano? (I’ve been meaning to add a third to the roster this year or next 🇬🇧)

Land or Sea?

Sea, always. For the big 3-0, I got my powerboat license in the Isle of Wight… happy memories

Dependents?

Bodhi - a very spoiled, adorable, perfect, prince of a show cocker spaniel, aged 3.5 years

Sun or Snow?

Snow. I was born during a winter storm. To date, one of the most incredible places I’ve ever visited was Tromsø, Norway in January to go whale watching

Activities?

I’m an avid West End enthusiast and part-time jewellery designer. I also dabble in art collection. I invested in a painting by Studio Lenca & it’s my second pride & joy (see: dependents)

Music?

Ludovico Einaudi, Enya, The Cranberries, Max Richter, The Cocteau Twins (I blame my epic taste in music on my parents)

One of my favourite things about meeting with new/prospective clients, is the opportunity to aid in the vision and be a part of the growth of the company

There is nothing more rewarding than when a client can see visible, positive change or increase (whether in sales or subscriber growth) from the work I’ve helped impliment. Your success is also my success.
