Ellie Rochman
Designer
Ellie spent her childhood in the backwoods of northern Wisconsin and her later teens with her maternal family in the rolling hills of western Massachusetts. Here she was supported by her grandma who painted watercolors of New England flora, her grandpa who worked the yard from sunrise to sundown and her mom who weeded and tended to their shared garden.
The roots to these places and the people in them is what paved her path towards earning her bachelors in art history at Skidmore College and later her masters in landscape architecture at Harvard's Graduate School of Design. She moved to San Francisco in 2020 and joined Arterra in 2023 after working for a few other architecture offices in the Bay.
Ellie is a designer at Arterra, helping realize the creative visions of our partners and clients. She strives to remain engaged with the architectures in both practice and through study. On the weekends you might find Ellie going on urban and nature hikes with her Vizsla, Gus and her long-term partner, Kaoru.
