Hi, I'm Elliott.
I design and build products and the systems around them, across software, physical objects, and brand.
My skillset lives at the intersection of creative exploration and technical precision: building the systems, workflows, teams, and infrastructure that help design projects thrive. Trained in furniture design at RISD and computer science at Brown, I manage teams working across physical product, digital software, and editorial design.
I currently run Perennial, a freelance strategic advisory and design studio supporting independent makers.
In the short start to my career, I've started a magazine, built marketing, brand, and sales systems for an architecture firm, and worked in product and web design across the lifecycle of lighting, home goods, and e-commerce brands.
I'm motivated by the challenge of helping to sustainably build organizations that make people's lives easier, better, and more fulfilling.
