Born in Montmartre (Paris), Arielle grew up surrounded by her family, which included her parents, her two younger brothers, as well as her grandmothers and great-grandmothers who all lived in the same apartment. She attended the École Active Bilingue in Paris, then spent two years in a sports-study program focused on horseback riding. Passionate about horses, she spent her free time in their company.
After working in several companies, Arielle Ellia is now devoted to the growth of her communication agency WEBCOMDESIGN, founded in 2021, by offering numerous image-related services, allowing her creative mind to roam free.
Nothing is better for certain minds than creativity! It is an extreme and unlimited freedom—no artificial intelligence will ever be able to go as far as our imagination, if only we make the effort to access it.
Where to begin? After obtaining a literary Baccalaureate, two years of psychology studies at the Sorbonne Paris 7, then a departure to Israel for two years in Eilat. In 1986, employed at the city’s diamond center for an international clientele. Then the Gulf War led to the closure of businesses and a drop in tourism, prompting a return to Paris and a position in Place Vendôme (Paris) at Alexandre Reza (or the Aladdin’s cave). Studies in gemology combined with sales activity and managing stock of precious stones. A wonderful experience with Alexandre Reza, a personality like no other, a true enthusiast and a great school for the rest of her professional life.
When a potential buyer didn’t appeal to him, he would stand up and break the sale, saying loudly, “This stone will not be worn by this person; it’s better off in my safe.” Who does that today?
In the 1990s, a truly enriching professional experience with diamond dealer André Messika (now a jewelry designer with an internationally renowned brand). A meticulous job of sorting stones and preparing orders for jewelers and jewelry manufacturers in Paris and across France.
After a break due to a marriage, two children, and a divorce, a return to Place Vendôme as director for the Italian jeweler Alberto Repossi.
From the 2000s to 2012, following two training courses, a new career as a photographer and graphic designer emerged, supporting communication agencies in visual creation. From professional photo shoots to graphic design, the transformation of ideas into strong and memorable images was the highlight of this experience.
Between 2012 and 2018, a wonderful adventure with the MUTTI brand.
As part of the creation of the French subsidiary of Mutti, an Italian multinational specialized in canned tomatoes, there was close collaboration with management to structure and implement commercial and administrative operations within the territory.
Following these various experiences, a year of reflection was necessary to lead to the creation of the company WEBCOMDESIGN in 2021.
To complete this article about Arielle Ellia’s professional biography, it is useful to add the additional activities she practices as well as the training she has completed: training as a Horse Coach and coaching with horses (Horse Sense).

Never forgetting that art and creativity are ever-present in Arielle Ellia’s life, she also creates resin objects that are exhibited at Galerie Artélie, 25 rue de Penthièvre, 75008 Paris, as well as on the Instagram account RESINE_ART_ELA, where you can also find bracelets made of natural stone beads.

Life is movement, life is connection, life is so short…
On a personal level: two marriages, two divorces, two children, four grandchildren. Good and true friends (time has sorted them out for me).
