Boxguy — Ellie Sage

b.2002

I'm an interdisciplinary Graphic Designer and Illustrator from the West Country. I specialise in both analogue and digital publication and print, often grounded in tactile processes and physical experimentation. Thematically, I’m drawn to ideas around identity, heritage and ruralism, pulling from both personal experience and wider cultural narratives.
