After a year of living in Paris in 2012, working for both Media studio company Abel14 and at top fashion labels such as Acne and Dior (ooh lala!), she got a taste of working in a high-paced and event-filled environment, and knew that this was something she wanted to pursue.

By getting actively involved in events, whether that be dominating a megaphone during fitness workouts, or acting for clients at a party, Ella enjoys getting in the role, to make sure any event is fun and enjoyable. Her aim is to expand her experience with a wide spectrum of brands, having thus far worked on events for John Lewis, UnderArmour, giffgaff and Pandora.

Mike came to PrettyGreen to help out for a few days in the summer of 2012. Two years later and he’s still here. Mainly because it’s a good deal more interesting than insurance and he’s also still chasing folks to complete their time sheets. He can’t get enough of financial reporting and has a love/hate relationship with Excel.
When not dealing with numbers, he enjoys photography, watching rugby league and wheat beers (drinking, not watching). And when he can escape to the hills, Mike loves mountain biking and hill-walking.

Either way, to get away from the computer screen she can be found pounding the streets or cycling to the nearest view point so she can wave around her beloved cameras that she likes to pretend to know how to use.
