After graduating from Creative Advertising in 2016, Ellysia didn’t follow a traditional path. She began studying a degree in journalism and photography, worked odd jobs – including a stint as a not-so-great barista – before landing in agency world. “I started working hard from day one,” she says. “There wasn’t a real set plan. I just followed the things that interested me.”
Starting as an Account Coordinator, Ellysia worked in every corner of an agency before finally making the leap into creative. “I was lucky to be involved in some creative projects before I was even writing,” she says. “I believed in myself, and sometimes you have to close one door to open another.”
