Ella Clarke

Ella Clarke is a designer working across architecture, theatre, landscape and the arts.

Ella trained in architecture at the University of Cambridge and the London School of Architecture before graduating with distinction in planting design from the London College of Garden Design, awarded the Judge's prize. She currently works on projects throughout the UK across landscape, installations and architecture.

Recent works have combined experience across all disciplines, working with a range of materials, spaces and collaborators.

At the core of Ella’s ethos is placing people at the heart of designs, creating spaces that engage with those that use them. Whether this is blurring the boundary between audience and performer or creating connections between indoor and outdoor spaces, she believes understanding the way spaces are used is the key to effective design.
