Howdy, I'm Ella, a music producer, composer, and sound engineer from Austin, Texas, living in London for the past two years. I believe that music and art can and should be used for restoration and healing, and from that springs my passion for creating immersive, human-centered listening experiences. My work brings together original music production, live recording, sound ecology, and research-informed creative practice, combining technical precision with thoughtful storytelling through sound. I'm currently the Chief Music Officer at an early-stage auditory wellbeing company, where I lead the creative direction of an original music catalogue and oversee everything from production, composition, recording, and post-production to producer management, field recording, and long-term creative strategy. Alongside studio production, I collaborate with sound ecologists, researchers, and musicians to create authentic, interdisciplinary audio experiences rooted in original instrumentation and environmental recordings. Whether I'm producing an album, recording and taking photos in the field, or developing a new creative project, I'm drawn to work that values curiosity, collaboration, and craftsmanship.
