Ellen has been happily married for 20 years and is the proud mother of five wonderful children. Her life, like many, has had its challenges, but these hurdles have brought her unexpected lessons, joy, and fulfillment. Through life’s ups and downs, Ellen has loved being a homemaker, devoted wife, and homeschooling mom.

Growing up in Campbell, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley, Ellen was surrounded by incredible mentors—teachers, coaches, and spiritual guides. Above all, her parents, immigrants from the Philippines, showed her how to live a life of integrity and respect. These influences sparked her curiosity and passion for helping others. She graduated from San Jose State University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts in Child Development and went on to work as a physical education instructor, further fueling her love of service.

At 11, Ellen discovered her knack for turning chaos into order by organizing her own room. This love for creating tidy, peaceful spaces grew into a passion for design and homemaking. Today, she uses this gift to make life better and more enjoyable for everyone around her.

Ellen is dedicated to exceptional hospitality and creating beautiful, organized spaces. These values drive her work and inspire her to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
