Meet Elyse Elliott, Senior Designer of the Public Sector Group at Henricksen.

With a lifelong passion for art and design, Elyse Elliott, a Senior Designer with Henricksen’s Minneapolis-based Public Sector Group, pursued a career in interior design, graduating from the University of Wisconsin – Stout. She has an impressive portfolio of successful projects across a range of industries, with a particular focus on the public sector, including municipal and state government, healthcare, and higher education.

From her years of experience as a designer, Elyse has learned that listening to her clients is paramount in understanding their unique project goals, challenges, and requirements. She frequently employs Configura’s CET software in live design working sessions to help bring those goals to life. Together with clients and project partners, Elyse’s use of CET ensures mutual understanding, reduces revisions, and ultimately helps the team deliver the project faster.

Elyse’s participation in conferences, CEUs, webinars, and client engagements allows her to stay current with the latest public sector design strategies, priorities, and challenges. Among her numerous successful projects within the public sector is the Redleaf Center for Family Healing, the first mental health and parenting center for pregnant and postpartum mothers and their families in Minnesota.

“I’m passionate about designing functional spaces that are both innovative and effective,” says Elyse Elliott. “My goal is to create an environment that meets my client’s needs while also being aesthetically pleasing.”

Elyse has been an invaluable asset to Henricksen’s Public Sector Group since joining in 2017. Her commitment to excellence is evident in all aspects of her work, from concept development to final installation details.
