ELLEN HAMILTON

A quick glance at Ellen Hamilton’s work is enough to reveal a designer deeply committed to the decorative arts - what you don’t see are the piles of books that inform each project and the intense research and wild inspiration that follow. Drawing on everything from the Convent of St. Marco to The Thin Man, her projects reflect a perennial student dedicated to and enchanted by the complexity of design.

Ellen’s process of translation, iteration, and innovation is one that has made for profound client relationships as she dives into their vision to expand both their base of knowledge as well as her own. With an eye on the unique history of each property, her projects honor the past as a means to bend and shape a home for our time - so these extraordinary spaces can continue to live on in the present.

As chair of The Decorators Club Education Fund, Ellen’s dedication to education and diversity in the design industry has taken the form of enhanced scholarships for New York City high school students, with over 125 students funded for study in Interior Design over the last five years.

Ellen’s work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Veranda, Luxe, Elle Décor, Galerie, House Beautiful, and other leading design publications.
