  • You’re in transition. You don’t need a one-size-fits-all fix — you need a thoughtful partner who can help you imagine what’s possible and turn that vision into a clear, practical plan.

    What I do

    • Collaborative strategy & planning: facilitate visioning sessions, build actionable strategic plans, and translate big ideas into step-by-step roadmaps you can implement.

    • Anti-Racist Result-Based Accountability (RBA): Integrate equity-centered RBA frameworks so your metrics, decision-making, and outcomes reflect anti-racist principles.

    • Program & Project management: Design and manage projects from conception through evaluation — timelines, roles, workflows, and reporting that keep things moving without burning out your team.

    • Technology, Systems, and Data Driven Consulting: Recommend and implement software solutions, manage vendor selection and rollouts, and streamline data practices to improve efficiency and impact.

    • Capacity building & training: Build staff and board skills through tailored workshops, coaching, and tools that stick.

    • Start-up to legacy support: Whether you’re a new initiative or a long-standing organization, I meet you where you are and co-create sustainable, context-driven solutions.

    Who I work with Nonprofits, foundations, and mission-driven organizations across the country — from scrappy start-ups to legacy institutions ready to evolve.

    How I work

    • Empathetic and practical: I blend visionary thinking with tactical know-how — big dreams grounded in realistic next steps.

    • Holistic approach: strategy, people, systems, and equity are part of the same equation.

    • Collaborative partnership: I don’t hand off a report and disappear. I work alongside your team, transferring skills and building internal capacity.

    • Tailored process: every engagement is customized — assessments, co-created plans, implementation support, and clear metrics for accountability.

    • Clear strategic direction and prioritized action steps

    • Measurable outcomes with equity-centered accountability

  • Bestie Application — Your Hype-Woman for Everything Big and Small

    Need a “best friend” to do your makeup, style an outfit, girl-math a business plan, or give you that tiny, confidence-boosting push? Bestie Application is the curated, creative, and cheerfully strategic service that shows up like your favorite hype woman — with snacks, a color palette, and a plan.

    What you get

    • Full-spectrum support: creative direction, styling, beauty tips, branding clarity, and practical business-spark math — whatever you need that day.

    • One-on-one session(s): pick a single power-hour pep session or a multi-meeting mini-series for deeper projects.

    • Actionable outcomes: a styled outfit board, a makeup how-to, a tidy business checklist with realistic numbers, or a spirited launch roadmap — all easy to use and even easier to love.

    • Encouragement + accountability: gentle nudges, celebratory check-ins, and the kind of blunt-kind support only a bestie (who also knows strategy) can give.

    Who it’s for

    • Creators who want to look and feel like their brand.

    • Entrepreneurs who prefer friend-first advice with strategy second.

    • Anyone needing a quick confidence boost, a polished presentation, or the little push to go from “maybe” to “let’s do this.”

    How it works

    1. Tell me what you need: makeup, outfit, biz math, or all of the above.

    2. Choose a session length: 60-minute power hour, 3-session glow-up pack, or a custom bundle.

    3. Show up; we’ll work through your mood, goals, and a tiny-to-bold action list.

    4. Leave with simple, practical deliverables and a hype plan to keep momentum.

    Pricing & add-ons

    • Power Hour: focused, high-energy help (makeup walkthrough, outfit styling, or biz quick-math).

    • Glow-Up Pack: multi-session bundle for deeper refinement and follow-up.

    • Add-ons: printable style cards, one-page business plan, 7-day accountability text thread, or on-call emergency pep support.

About Me

I’m Ellie — a strategist, creative, and lifelong nonprofit tinkerer who’s spent the last six years consulting across the full nonprofit spectrum. I do the messy, the minute, and the monumental: strategic planning that actually gets used, project implementation that keeps teams singing, and culture work that roots organizations in values and sustainability.

I bring a designer’s eye to every problem. My work blends creative personality with purpose-driven branding and practical systems — making data readable, culture actionable, and “human” an operational value, not just a vibe. I treat each project like a piece of art: thoughtful, intentional, and built to last.

Made By Ellie is the realization of a long-standing dream to run a small business that marries strategy and craft. My goal is to grow it into a social enterprise that supports local artists and small businesses, channeling revenue and resources back into community transformation. In short: I help people and organizations do better work, look better doing it, and leave a kinder footprint behind.
