Boutique Design - September 2013 - 38

ERIN CRY, LARISSA BURDEN AND KELLY OGDEN
ELK Collective, Portland, Ore.

ELK was created by three designers who
ﬁrst met at The Art Institute in Portland.
(ELK takes its name from the ﬁrst initials
of its founders.) Prior to starting that
ﬁrm, Burden was lead interior designer
at WCI Inc.—and a 2011 Boutique 18
honoree while there—and Ogden was
design director at Architropolis. As ELK’s
creative directors, those two (shown at
left) lead the ﬁrm on a daily basis, while
Cry consults on fashion-related design
issues (staff uniforms, etc.).
WHY THEY FOUNDED ELK:
BURDEN—“When we were in design
school, we dreamed of creating a collaborative where multiple design disciplines could work under one roof to
produce holistic environments. After
gaining some real-world experience,
we have come back together to set
about accomplishing that goal.”

ON DEALING WITH TIGHT BUDGETS
AND PROJECT TIMELINES:
OGDEN—“We view budget
constraints as an opportunity to
get creative with our designs and
materials. For us, the bigger challenge
is finding ways to accommodate
accelerated project schedules while
continuing to provide a very high
level of service to our clients.”

ELK’S PLANS FOR BRANCHING OUT:

At the Smallwares
Asian restaurant and
bar in Portland, Ore., ELK
Collective created a highgloss red-and-white palette
that’s counterbalanced by
natural woods.

BURDEN—“Not too far down the
road, we plan to launch furniture and
lighting product lines under the ELK
banner. In addition, we are working
on some ‘self-propelled’ projects that
we would fund, design and operate.”
