Jessica M. Ellis

Senior Features Editor

Jessica M. Ellis is VOL’s Senior Features Editor, known around the newsroom for asking the question that opens a subject up without flattening them into a brand story. She looks for the meeting point between design, culture, and lived experience, then gives each story the space to develop its own rhythm. Her work reflects VOL’s belief that the most lasting pieces are both beautifully made and genuinely reported.
