Maya Ellis

I design expressive brands and websites for independents

(About)

Designer, builder, and the account manager.

I'm Maya Ellis. For ten years I've run a studio of one helping founders look established before they feel it. Four projects at a time, maximum — senior work, honest timelines, and files you actually own.
