Hi, I'M ELLIE.

An artisan keycap maker, prop and food stylist, cocktail enthusiast, interior design fanatic, and avid thrifter.

MY STORY

I was born and raised in a small-town in Wisconsin. Although it’s a nostalgic place to call home, I’ve settled out west in Denver.

As long as I can remember I’ve always had the desire to create. From scrapbooking when I was little, to designing high school volleyball shirts, to making crafts for holiday gifts, I’ve thrived off using my hands to create.

Then before I knew it, I got my first computer, camera, and tools to create digitally and my world was lit up with passion and nonstop ways to create and design. 

Searching for new means to explore my creative curiosity, I set out for a design focused education. I graduated from UW-Stout with a BFA in Art and then the University of Oregon with a Masters of Interior Design. While bathroom details, long project timelines, and a 9-5 job was quickly going to become my new reality, something was still missing. 

With a move to Denver, I looked for a way to merge my worlds of fine arts, product design, and human behavior. That’s when I started Macher Studio, a multi-disciplinary creative hub.


I am a product and content creator working with various materials and tools to create modern, beautifully crafted, original products and content.

My most current work focuses on creating artisan keycaps for the mechanical keyboard community. This has lead to further developments in desk accessories and watercolor paintings.

psst… “Macher” rhymes with “shaker”
