Ellery joined BLUR in 2024 after graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Master of Architecture. Before this, she received her Bachelor’s of Design in Architecture at the University of Florida in 2022. Her minor in Urban and Regional Planning at Florida as well as a concentration in Urban Design at Tech has allowed her to explore the larger picture associated with architecture and its impact on the environment and buildings that surround us, which she has really found a liking to.

Since starting her architecture studies, Ellery has had many different internship opportunities which have allowed her to work on various commercial buildings in Jacksonville, high-rises in New York City, and luxury residential architecture in Atlanta. Ellery also loves the theory and history side of architecture, having two published research papers and being a co-editor for an architecture novel. Both at Florida and Tech, she served on the executive board of the American Institute of Architecture Students, the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students, and Equity in Architecture.

Ellery considers herself one of the lucky ones as she always knew she wanted to do architecture as a child. She loves the expression and freedom of design and loves to be involved with it in any way she can. Outside of BLUR, Ellery enjoys playing tennis and soccer as well as watching any and all sports (Go Bills). She is known for taking photographs anywhere she goes, thrifting, constantly traveling to New York City, and scrolling on Nike’s website.
