A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Hey, I'm Ella Dawn.
Hey, I’m Ella Dawn Burgess - the brain + eye behind HAUS OF DAWN.
After years of working inside marketing agencies and leading countless client projects across branding, social media strategy, and digital design, I noticed a pattern: gorgeous visuals without purpose, or visually unappealing strategy. I started HAUS OF DAWN to change that—to create a space where creative storytelling and intentional marketing live side by side.
I grew up in a creative household and naturally gravitated toward the arts, but it was my fascination with psychology and behaviour that pulled me into business marketing. I became obsessed with understanding what makes people click - literally and emotionally. That desire led to a degree in Business Marketing, years of hands-on client experience, where I deepened my knowledge of consumer behaviour, content psychology, and strategic communication, and eventually, the leap into building something of my own!
My passion lies in uncovering the why behind brands - getting to the root of what makes them unique - and reinforcing that message through strategic content, intentional design, and copywriting that tells your story. I believe that strategic visual storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have to build connection, trust, and recognition.
If you're ready to turn your vision into a brand that feels like home - and performs like a powerhouse -you’re in the right spot.
Why "Haus"?
HAUS OF DAWN was created from a deep desire to bridge intentional design with effective marketing strategy - a place where you don't have to choose between the two.
The name "Haus" is an homage to the modernist design movement Bauhaus, which emphasized that form should also follow function, and that true art blends art, craft, and technology with simplicity and functionality.
"Haus" is also a German word for house - and at HAUS OF DAWN, you’re getting more than just a service. You’re entering the full ecosystem: a space where intentional brand design, soul-aligned content strategy, and digital marketing thrive together under one roof.
Welcome to the HAUS.
