Chat with Ellie Lemak: Exclusive Interview with Ellie Lemak
Hey there! Let's get to know Ellie Skochdopole, the creative force behind Gardenuity's visuals!
As the resident Graphic Designer, Ellie has a knack for bringing the Gardenuity brand to life through captivating graphics. Whether it's for web or print, her designs have graced the Gardenuity Newsletter, digital marketing campaigns, product packaging, and more.
Ellie's five-year journey with Gardenuity began as a freelance designer, but she was quickly won over by the company's engaging community, inspiring culture, and innovative ideas. Empowered by her passion, she decided to have a more significant impact on the growth of this wellness-focused gardening business.
When she's not busy crafting stunning designs, Ellie is a dedicated pilates enthusiast. You'll find her attending daily classes, streaming workout videos from popular instructors like Melissa Wood and Ashley Eckhoff, or taking leisurely morning strolls. For an extra dose of wellness, she starts her day with warm lemon water infused with mint from her very own garden.
Speaking of gardens, Ellie adores sharing the joy of gardening with others through her favorite surprise gift — the Cocktail Garden. Recipients love examples of creative, interactive cocktail-making using fresh herbs, which adds an unparalleled vibrancy to their beverages.
When it comes to Gardenuity, Ellie appreciates the family-oriented atmosphere across all levels of the company. Top executives make an admirable effort to ensure everyone feels included, free to express ideas, and taken care of with regards to work-life balance.
Fun fact, Ellie goes by the nickname "Smoothie Queen" and can often be found mixing up some amazing recipes featuring her favorite plant—mint! It's great for digestion and makes for a fantastic addition to smoothies.
In Ellie's own words, she'll be engaging in a tropical nuptial ceremony this December, and she's the proud owner of an adorable French Bulldog named Juliet.
Ellie's creative designs extend beyond Gardenuity's visuals, including digital marketing campaigns for health-and-wellness brands that focus on fitness-and-exercise and lifestyle. Her dedication to wellness doesn't stop at work, as she enjoys practicing pilates, starting her day with a mint-infused warm lemon water, and even earned the nickname "Smoothie Queen" for her creative smoothie recipes featuring mint. At home, Ellie shares her passion for gardening by gifting Cocktail Gardens to friends, showcasing the beauty of gardening and the art of mixology. Outside of work and gardening, Ellie is excitedly preparing for a tropical wedding this December and is a proud owner of a French Bulldog named Juliet.
