about Ellen
Ellen Jespersen believes words and images are too powerful to waste. With her sharp eye and quick competence, she brings leadership, creativity, and organization to every project she encounters.
Ellen’s background in journalism, communications, and design allow her skills and demeanor to translate well in a wide variety of contexts. Is she happier creating a strategy, typing interesting words, or designing lovely things? No one knows, including her.
Apart from her professional life, Ellen enjoys spending time with her husband and their four school-aged children, keeping up with friends near and far, and trying to get through all the library books on her nightstand.
