Passionate about creative thinking, intentional living, and design as a tool for transformation.
Meet Elisabeth “Ellie” Ilsø Hougaard, Founder of The Mindful Business
A Design-Led Approach to Mindful Living
With over a decade of experience in the creative industry, Elisabeth has worked across design management and brand strategy in Denmark, Australia, and remotely (since 2018). Her clients have included brands in renewable energy, health, and wellness—industries focused on conscious impact.
In 2024, she expanded her work to include coaching, combining her background in communication design with mindfulness and transformational coaching. Her mission now is to help others reconnect with their creativity, build joyful lives, and build sustainable businesses – in a mindful way.
She’s a passionate yoga teacher, a certified Transformative Coach (MindJuice University), and holds a Master’s in Communication Design from RMIT in Melbourne. When offline, you’ll often find her surfing, enjoying live music, or exploring new cultures.

Eli hit the nail on the head with her feedback on my challenges… What really stands out about Eli is how she takes her wealth of experience and turns it into practical advice that actually works in the real world. Her track record speaks for itself, and I've been happy to have attended a multitude of her workshops & coachings. Eli's the real deal, no doubt about it!
