I am the lead designer, and President of Ellergodt Design.   I graduated from the SAIT Architectural Technologies program in 1986, and spent a number of years working my way up the ranks in the field of home design in Calgary and Vancouver.

In 2003 with a young family to support, I left the security of my 9-5 job (and a dental plan) and Ellergodt Design was born.  Making the decision to venture out on my own was definitely one of those “jump before you’re ready” experiences, but one that both my wife Carol and I felt was necessary.

I have worked almost exclusively with a residential focus for the past 34 years, designing single-family and semi-detached homes, high-end renovations and a variety of multi-family projects.  I am fueled by a passion for creative, innovative, client-focused, and when possible, sustainable design.  My objective is to genuinely help you  ‘find your way home’  through a personalized and collaborative custom design process, ensuring that the design we create truly meets your unique lifestyle needs.

I have established myself as one of Calgary’s premiere home designers, and have spent my career making connections and building relationships with an array of both homeowners and industry professionals.  I have a keen interest in pursuing and implementing sustainable practices and am a LEED Accredited Professional, as well as a Certified Sustainable Building Advisor.

I believe that no matter the scope of your next building project, it all begins with excellent and personalized design.  As stressful as it can be, designing a new home (of any size) really can be a fun and exciting experience, and I always aim to find that sweet spot where fun and expertise meet.

I have been with Ellergodt Design since 2018 where I enjoy working on a wide variety of projects, from small scale renovations to luxury estate homes. As a client driven design company, I find that the range and variance keeps everything fresh and interesting, and challenges us all to keep on top of our game. I am also an implementer and a problem solver with an interest in helping to develop our processes to make your design experience flow.
I contribute to your projects from conceptual design through to the completion of construction drawings, and enjoy being very hands on throughout the design stage of your home. Above all, I work to ensure that you are happy, and that your project stays on track.

I joined the Ellergodt Design team in 2021 as a designer and technologist. I enjoy working with clients from A to Z, bringing their ideas, concepts, and dreams into a home design that suits their individual lifestyle. I take pride in my attention to detail and am always striving to find the best solution to blend architectural style with structural components, bylaw and code restrictions, and any individual needs a homeowner has.

I have been with Ellergodt Design since June 2021! I love meeting new people and working with them to achieve a space that they will absolutely love. I feel I have a great attention to detail and always strive to show this in every design, no matter how large or small. I think the team at Ellergodt Design is incredibly client focused, and always willing to step out of the proverbial “comfort zone” to achieve amazing designs our clients will love. I’m incredibly excited to be a part of the amazing design team at Ellergodt Design.

I joined Ellergodt Design in early 2022, for the fabulous team! After working in residential architecture firms, a structural engineering firm, a commercial architecture firm, for an urban planner, and a home developer, this team feels like coming home. While we each ‘lead’ our own projects, we frequently ask each other for over-the-shoulder crits and suggestions to better our designs. I love working on residential design from small renovations to new homes, townhouses and mixed use projects. I love chatting with our clients about how they use their space and how they would like to use their space, and then I sculpt the building to turn dreams into reality.

I have been with Ellergodt Design since 2015 in the role of principal draftsman.   I take Brent’s design sketches and implement them into our 3D drafting program to create detailed construction drawings, renderings, videos and walk-throughs.  We are very proud to create 3D visualization in-house, allowing you to see your project take shape in a very tangible way. 

I enjoy working in a very dynamic workplace that challenges me to always stay on top of my game, and that allows me an opportunity to explore ways to improve what we offer to you.

I believe in the philosophy that successful design is created through experience, open communication and close attention to detail.

Years of experience in the field from kitchen design to commercial design has allowed me to gain invaluable knowledge in all aspects of the design process, ranging from initial client meetings and design development to construction documentation and observation. The success of each project requires close communication and collaboration among all of the project team members, including engineers, architects/residential designers, project managers and contractors.

I have a love for unique spaces and possess a design perspective that allows me to blend old and new as well as traditional and modern to create cohesive and aesthetically pleasing environments on any budget. Most importantly, I work tirelessly for our clients to ensure their desires are met and the space they imagined comes to life.

Coming soon…
