local sunnyvale bay area ceramic artist and designer ellie selling nerikomi handmade porcelain

Meet the maker

Hi I'm Ellie

Ellie Studio is my one-person creative space in Sunnyvale, California. I am a maker and designer driven by a simple mission: to bring a sense of joy, wonder, and artistic character to your everyday life.

My work is a balance of hands-on craft and collaborative design. I personally hand-build every Nerikomi ceramic piece, layering colored porcelain into unique, expressive patterns. For our Haori jackets, I co-design the textile patterns and work with partners to bring the collection to life.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope my pieces can spark a little inspiration and bring a sense of delight to your day.
