Ellen radiates enthusiasm for life and passion for art. She gravitates towards art and colour. One of the most difficult things for Ellen to do is to ‘tone things down’ – that’s like clipping her creative wings. Ellen Casalena owns a boutique design and digital studio in Cape Town called Imagine Creatives Services & Digital. She is an accomplished art director, designer, illustrator, painter, box packaging sculptor, photographer, finished artist & magician, having gained experience on many big brands and in many award winning advertising and design agencies. She thinks ‘out of the box’ and has the ability to ‘realise’ pretty much anything you can think of. Her sunny personality and enthusiasm mixed with a perfectionistic streak ensures that high production standards are maintained at her company and in her art.

“Art, passion, love, fun and ‘joie de vivre’, pretty much sums up Ellen” Chris Casalena
