Hiya! I'm Ellie, a small and curious human who loves a warm pot of lady grey tea, big fluffy blankets, napping in grassy patches of sunlight, and a good video game in on a rainy day.Professionally, I work at the intersection of metadata strategy and educational resource delivery, contributing to TAFE NSW’s largest learning content repository.Outside of work, you'll often find me under a rock sketching silly little creatures, exploring local flora, photographing and giggling at bugs, or visiting the local library!Mostly, I am just wandering through life with curiosity in my pocket and a soft spot for the little things that make the world feel warm. : )Thanks for stopping by~
