About Ella

When I fell in love with sewing, I fell HARD. I started a few months before the pandemic began and I’ve been riding a wild frenzied wave ever since, savoring every seam, learning all that I can about this skill from patternmaking to couture tailoring and everything in between.

I live in Oakland, California where I work for a nonprofit foundation that’s a part of Levi Strauss & Co. I’m a first-generation American, a Black-Filipinx maker raised by a single mother, and a believer in the power of strong women.
