Who We Are

Elizabeth created Conscious Life & Style once she recognized that her love of fashion was at odds with her passion for sustainability and values for social justice and human rights. Today, she is dedicated to advocating for a fairer future for fashion that can have a positive impact on people and the place that we all call home: Mother Earth. Elizabeth also manages the Conscious Fashion Collective platform focused on spotlighting changemaking brands, creatives, and ideas in the sustainable fashion space.

Ella is an advocate for ethical living and a lover of all things eco-conscious, and is the owner of Mindful Socials Agency.

When she’s not huddled away on her laptop creating and working alongside other conscious creatives to build a better future, you’ll find her flexin’ on some yoga, reading books during sunsets, traveling, and immersing in nature!
