Philosophy
Ella Bulley’s design philosophy is rooted in the belief that materials have stories to tell and that through thoughtful exploration and experimentation, these stories can be brought to life in meaningful and impactful ways. She sees materials as more than just the physical substances from which objects are made; they are carriers of history, culture, and identity.
