Ellie spent three years working alongside Kirsite in the Starfish Store before embarking on a winter adventure to Europe with her boyfriend Kai. Since her return last year, she has begun some incredible work with Stellar Experiences, helping young people with disabilities have inclusive, independent experiences and enjoy life to the fullest. You will find her kind, understanding and generous personality on the end of Star & Co communications. Ellie was one of the key creative brains behind the Star & Co range, pouring her knowledge, experience and style together to design the products we have today. In her spare time, Ellie is bound to be doing something social or fitness related.

What triggers your anxiety?

Living with anxiety is a constant in my life. Despite my outwardly loud and outgoing personality, some might not immediately recognise it. Large crowds or unfamiliar social gatherings often trigger feelings of nervousness and unease within me. In such moments, you'll likely notice me instinctively reaching for my necklace, or constantly spinning my rings around my fingers.

What is your go-to Star & Co piece?

My favourite piece would have to be the Ellie (of course). To be honest, I cried when Sacha and I got to sit down and look at the final design together. I love how discreet the piece is and how it looks just like a regular ring but provides an amazing spinning element as well as a tactile feeling with the ball on top and the line engravings.
