Hey im ellie...
An Interdisciplinary Visual Artist based in NYC working at the intersection of video, projection, sculpture, performance, sound, and lighting.
"I know how to make people feel something. I know how to create a world and immerse people in it. I translate emotions into something more tangible. Whether that manifests into a video, a flash of light, or a physical installation you can walk through or hold. It makes that emotion more accessible, more universal. It’s all about making people trust you and your vision."

At 26, Eleanor Katie Holliday (Ellie Holliday) is a rising interdisciplinary visual artist whose innovative audio-visual works have electrified New York's creative scene and beyond. She operates at the confluence of light, sound, structure, and story, crafting immersive experiences that transcend traditional artistic boundaries.
An Audio-Visual Specialist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and former Design Intern at three times LOUDER (Brooklyn-based recording studio), Ellie's portfolio radiates with multimedia installations, theatre set designs, viral projection mapping experiments, and evocative soundscapes composed for stage and screen. With roots spanning London and New York, Ellie's work fuses emergent technologies with poetic storytelling, most notably recognized in her TikTok-viral projection works and her immersive collaborations with Audible, The National Theatre, and Berklee NYC.
Upon establishing her practice in New York, Holliday’s creative output accelerated dramatically. She became a go-to director, videographer, set designer, and editor for a new wave of local musicians, helming music videos for artists like ARIA, LAWRENCO, Looi, and Pablo Trujillo. Her work in this sphere is characterized by a strong, cohesive visual identity that complements and elevates the music. Videos like ‘Wake Up’ for Ann Aarat or ‘House in the Space’ for Danny Ritz are not mere promotional clips; they are miniature films, complete with bespoke sets and atmospheric lighting that reflect her growing expertise in world-building.
Ellie Holliday's journey is remarkable not only for its rapid ascent but for its breadth. She is a composer who thinks in images, a set designer who hears in textures, and a digital artist who builds physical worlds.
