Ellen began her jewelry designing journey as a very young girl. Together with her mother she sat for hours creating and designing Christmas ornaments, jewelry, and a variety of other artistic beaded projects. As she continued to grow so did her fascination with color, beads, and designing jewelry. After leaving the corporate world behind to attend Seminary with her husband, she felt her call to design jewelry begin to blossom. She began by making jewelry first for herself, and then for her mother. Soon family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers were complimenting her designs and inquiring where they could purchase similar pieces. By 2002, with the official launch of her business, her dreams of sharing her jewelry designs with others finally became a reality. In addition to designing jewelry, Ellen and her husband home school their two children.

Elea Designs can be viewed at local galleries and gift shops, private home showings, and local craft fairs throughout the year. Check the retail locations and events pages for more details.

Ellen also works closely with many of her clients to create that special custom piece, whether it’s for a wedding, a special gift or to coordinate with a particular color scheme or outfit.
