Elle Hervin is a writer and content creator who has turned her passion for interior design and
decorating into a full-time job following the success of her interiors-based Instagram account @ellethehome_bird, which has attracted more than 1 million followers. It is here that she showcases her distinctive decorating style, incorporating vintage and modern décor, along with innovative and creative design which has transformed an ordinary house into a beautiful yet practical family home. Elle's social media accounts regularly attract over 5 million views every month and her most popular project, the 'home library', has had more than 10 million views.

Elle has always had a love of interior design, but it became a transformative part of her life after
she suffered PTSD following the traumatic birth of her third son, in which she nearly lost her life. A passion for thrifting and sourcing second-hand and vintage homewares became a kind of therapy and helped Elle overcome trauma. She is a huge advocate for creating spaces which are not only reflective of the homeowner as a person, but which also bring about feelings of joy in every single room.

Elle has worked on interior styling campaigns with a plethora of big-name home and lifestyle
brands, including Ikea, Next, Laura Ashley, Le Creuset, Habitat and Barker & Stonehouse. The Home Bird is her first book.
