My name is Ellen Page by marriage, so I haven't always been famous. I grew up in Alabama, my dad was an actual rocket scientist. But I didn’t inherit the math gene, so the next obvious choice was “artist”. Advertising made places like San Francisco, LA and Austin home for a while. Which was fun. I loved the California coast and the Texas summers, but all my people are on the east coast and, as it turns out, I like being near them. Professionally, I have found my passion in making things – helping brands make things they wouldn't have made without me. I’m a wife, a dog mom and have an unhealthy obsession with college football and college jam bands, not necessarily in that order. I've worked at a few places, met several awesome people and have always come back to the belief that good work, good people and good clean fun are the currency of success.
