‘Ella’s creative and thoughtful approach, ability to listen to staff needs and respond sensitively to them, and patience with the complexities of commissioning work within an NHS context and tight budget has meant that she has created a programme of work which is entirely appropriate for the department.’
(Ruth Charity, Arts Coordinator at the Radcliffe Hospital).

The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioned Ella Doran to research, develop and create new artwork to improve the radiology department experience for patients, visitors and staff and to create a calming, friendly and welcoming feel to the ward, helping reduce stress and providing distraction for patients and visitors. The artworks also had to provide a sense of light and airiness and appeal to a wide age range, from young families to the elderly.

I used to roam around my dad’s wood workshop in West Yorkshire, terrorising his colleagues and making wooden sculptures. I’d accompany him to the demolition sites of the old mills of Manchester and Leeds that were being pulled down; everything within the mills was meant to be burnt, however, he’d salvage wood, bobbins, and cast iron objects and use the materials to make floors and furniture out of the reclaimed timber and other items. The idea that you could make something out of nothing interested me.

I work with developers, designers, and other creatives to create stand-out visual identities, websites, and marketing.
