Hello, my name is Ellie Hiner and I am from Stillwater, Oklahoma. I am currently pursuing my degree in Interior Design at Oklahoma State University, where I will graduate in May of 2026.
I have always been passionate about art and I love being able to showcase my creative side through interior design. I love learning about sustainable design practices and how overall designs can impact and benefit the health and well-being of others.
As a perfectionist, I have an eye for fine details and I take pride in my work and accomplishments. I am always challenging myself to learn new things, as I am very ambitious about the field of design. I also dabble in photography, capturing a wedding, seniors, couples, branding, and lifestyle.
I am continuing to perfect my skills in digital drafting and design, but am also passionate about aspects of hand drafting and rendering as well.
