Meet Ellie
Hey, I’m Ellie—the human behind As Told by Ellie.
First things first: I’m a new mom to a baby who arrived thanks to IVF (and more needles than I ever expected). But before that, I was (and still am) a proud dog mom to Collins—my almost-14-year-old Black Lab who regularly steals the spotlight on my social media and holds the title of Employee of the Month every month (despite my husband’s complaints).
I started this business in 2021 during what was easily the scariest chapter of my life. After four years of unexplained infertility, I discovered I had a brain tumor that was preventing me from getting pregnant. For a while, I truly thought I might not be here much longer, and I felt this pull to create something that would still exist if I didn’t.
That “something” turned into a way to spread laughter—especially the kind that helps people survive the hard stuff. Humor has always been my coping mechanism, and I’ve learned I have a knack for helping people laugh at things they’d normally cry about.
These days, this business is about more than just greeting cards or enamel pins—it’s about freedom, creativity, and never watering yourself down. I believe in saying what you actually mean (even if it makes people blush), living life on your own terms, and finding humor in the chaos.
Thanks for being here and supporting this little corner of sarcasm and heart. Whether you’re stocking your shop, laughing at my questionable captions, or just here to see what Collins is up to, I’m so glad you found me.
