“What do you do?”

I can’t tell you how much I dread this question.

My work moves between art, technology, psychology, and the systems that shape how we live and see ourselves. For decades, I have maintained an independent art practice alongside a professional career in technology and project leadership. Making a living outside the arts has given me the freedom to make art without tailoring it to a commercial market or waiting for institutional permission. At the same time, living between these different worlds has often made me an outsider, never entirely belonging to one field or another. This way of looking from the edges questions what others may take for granted and brings perspectives from one world into another.

What people say

“I have avidly followed and been present at almost every one of Ella Joseph’s presentations during the past 20 years. Ella Joseph’s work possesses an extraordinary spectrum of scenography […] enhancing the environment through soundscapes, often incorporating orchestral music in collaboration with musicians. Her own presence as “Oracle,” my way of describing her role, is that of an author, a cinema director, visual artist, and creator of an advanced level of scenography as total environment.“

Paul Ottolina-Simini, Artist

“Ella’s work creates its own language, space, time, and system. Being involved in Parsifal Unspoken led me to a brand new door I had never opened before. Her artistic ideas are striking, unexpected, and beyond ordinary imagination, […] bringing together visual elements, movement, and sound into a distinctive artistic world. Ella brings a generous and expansive creative energy into a project, and those who work with her can be challenged, inspired, and invited into new ways of seeing and creating.“

Rin Ozaki, Marimbist & Percussionist

“I love the yin-yang of your work. There are so many people that go through life without seeing what can be beautiful and meaningful in the darker aspects of life […]. I used to be one of those people who was never interested in exploring the darker aspects of life, but I believe those experiences make us stronger and more sensitive. I hope you are able to keep us thinking and evolving for a long time.“

Jacki

“I had never journaled before, but this course helped me put my thoughts on paper in a meaningful way. The process was enlightening and helped me realize how spiritually grounded I had become. Reflecting on past challenges helped me move forward, forgive myself, and understand that I was not alone in what I had experienced.”

Sasha F, RN

“I felt the course provided me with the necessary tools to work through my personal situation without feeling pressured. I noticed a positive shift in my attitude, specifically regarding my ability to let go of the need for control, which I previously used to maintain a false sense of harmony.“

Anonymous, Musician

“This course helped me look at myself in a deeper way and recognize patterns I kept repeating, especially my tendency to rescue or fix others. The exercises and journaling were enlightening and practical. I applied what I learned in real life. It reminded me that I am never too old to grow and become a different version of myself.”

Susan L, Teacher

“As a technical lead I was under significant stress because we couldn’t make meaningful progress. Within a week, Ella changed everything. She helped clarify use cases, create clear workflows, and build a roadmap that finally made progress feel achievable. […] For the first time in months, I could see a clear path forward, and the stress immediately lifted. Ella has a natural ability to connect with others, foster collaboration and build trust across teams. She brings clarity where there is ambiguity, and momentum when teams feel stuck.“

Charles Gow, IAM Engineer

“Ella has consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise in project management. Also, guiding me through SAFE methodology and Azure DevOps (ADO). Her commitment has been instrumental in successfully driving multiple projects to completion, contributing to the success of our client support team. Ella has a keen understanding of global and cultural dynamics, making her a valuable asset to our global culture. She is not only a skilled professional, she is also a joy to work with.“

Robert Genz, Global Service Owner

“Ella made the transition very smooth and her great knowledge in agile methodology made it easy to understand. To say the team was hesitant is an understatement and the push back was immense, but the entire time Ella was patient, calm, and very professional. I would recommend her for any position just from the experience I had with her leaping into the agile methodology.”

William Joyner, Systems Engineer
