In this episode I speak with Ella Bulley, a Material Designer known for her unique blend of textiles, products, art, and set design. Through a fusion of in-depth research, material experimentation, and traditional craftsmanship, Ella Bulley's design philosophy acts as a transformative force, turning basic materials into sophisticated designs. Her work has gone on to be exhibited at London Design Festival, Milan Design Week, Tendence, Ambiente, Sommerset House and the Design Museum, London.
Ella's reflections on balancing a thriving professional life with deep personal ties in Ghana is a testament to the power of community and the enduring influence of heritage. Her dedication to sustainability and mentorship in material design is not only shaping her projects but also the minds of future visionaries.
Ella shares her passion for collaboration and her vision for documenting her Ghanaian heritage is as tangible as the art she creates.
