About Eli:
Eli is an architect with a background in the related fields of archaeology, historic preservation, rustic construction, and community planning. He has applied this experience to projects including institutional and residential renovations, multi-family housing, commercial office, and mixed use developments.
Prior to joining Utile, he worked at architectural practices in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, and Kansas City. Design efforts therein included a housing proposal featured in the inaugural Chicago Biennial, a preservation plan for the flood-prone Farnsworth House, and award-winning adaptations of two- and three-deckers in Boston.
Eli earned a Master of Architecture from Kansas State University, receiving the collaborative Kremer Thesis Prize upon graduation. He later attended Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, receiving a Master of Architecture II as well as the Appleton Traveling Fellowship. He has since maintained connections to pedagogy by serving as a studio instructor at Harvard, Northeastern University, and Wentworth Institute of Technology.
Outside of the office, Eli can be found (slowly) drawing rocks, (slowly) renovating his eighteenth century condo, or (quickly) exploring surrounding Boston neighborhoods dragged along by his dog, Mosby.
