Ellie Thomas
Project Designer
From taming wildfires in the Nez Perce Clearwater National Forest to igniting creativity in the world of architecture, Ellie has a propensity for problem solving and the nonmundane.
Passionate about architectural design and its ability to influence our emotions and interactions, Ellie believes the built environment has a responsibility to enhance humanity’s wellbeing. This philosophy combined with her inherent design talent and collaborative mentality push Ellie to be one of the region’s leading Project Designers. Her specialties have served and continue to serve projects in higher education, civic, and other public sectors.
While rural-raised, Idaho-educated, and deeply rooted in our state, Ellie loves to travel and explore new places. She was profoundly changed by a summer abroad in Italy and hopes to return soon, this time with husband and young children in tow.
