About me

Hey! I’m Ellie and I’m a training sound designer & recordist from Greater Manchester. All good things come in threes, so here's three quick things to know about me:

1. I started at the Northern Film School @ Leeds Beckett University in 2018. I came to film school thinking I was destined for cinematography, but I surprised myself with how connected I became to sound operating and design. Throughout my life I've been very musically-oriented and have been in lessons for some instrument or another for as long as I can remember. I've grown up around sound and music production thanks to my dad and his home recording studio, so in hindsight it makes sense that I would gravitate towards it in my studies and future career!

2. I am aiming at the moment to find opportunities outside of film school to get on- and off-set experience, practise my craft and network with other soundies. After graduating I would love to work as a post-production sound assistant. My absolute dream career would be to work in a studio as a foley artist.

3. In my spare time I enjoy a chaotic mixture of cross-stitching, going to the gym, learning French, going to gigs and festivals, and updating my ever-growing collection of Pinterest boards (119 and counting...!)

Thanks for reading and feel free to get in touch!
