About Ella Vargas
Hello there! I’m Ella, an industrial designer who thrives on bringing bold ideas to life through thoughtful design. With experience designing fashion accessories and hard goods for brands like Coach, Kate Spade, Oscar de la Renta, and Martha Stewart, I specialize in bringing concepts to life—guiding them from sketch to bulk production. I lead teams through the full design process, champion creativity, and collaborate closely with cross-functional partners and overseas manufacturers to drive the creation of products that resonate with consumers and align with brand vision.
