Ella said, "The talent Lief reps are so multi-faceted and such powerhouses in their own unique right that it feels incredible to be a part of this superb and creative community Margo has built. I worked with Margo in ‘21 as a freelancer, so it feels incredibly full circle and really precious to be a part of her team full-time now.”

Ella will work closely with Founder Margo Mars and sales representative Bec Carew of ThirteenCreative.
