Ella Doran is a designer, textile mark-maker and photographer, who has created a wide range of highly-acclaimed projects and objects across product and textile design, furniture, and interiors.

I interviewed her via Zoom at her London studio during the first few weeks of the `Covid’ lockdown.

In this episode, we discover how she set up her business after a chance meeting with a supplier,  her philosophy on design and the importance of materials and processes

The challenges and opportunities of licensing.

And how she got inspiration for a project by observing the landscape and sheep.
