Who’s on Team B&V?
For starters, a bunch of hard-working, fun-loving creative professionals.
We are an integrated design team.
From architects, to interior designers, to landscape architects — we’re all here to be your advocate.
Our team at Board & Vellum is here to answer your questions, solve your design challenges, and to have a fun time collaborating with you. We’re not your typical design firm, and we would love to show you why.

Jill Burdeen
Principal, Multifamily
Jill has over 15 years of experience in multifamily and mixed-use projects and an intimate familiarity with the Seattle market. Out of the office, she enjoys spending time with her daughters and dreams of opening a candy store.
Rachel Simrell Scott
Principal, Marketing & Brand
Originally trained in architecture, Rachel now leads all brand and marketing at Board & Vellum. She’s a self-admitted foodie, tech geek, design nerd, and passionate defender of the Oxford comma. She’ll catch any wayward pixels, while keeping an eye on the big picture.
Sara Emhoff, AIA
Principal, Single-Family
Sara has extensive experience with the unique challenges of single-family residential projects, having honed her practice on homes across a wide spectrum of sizes, styles, and budgets.
Zack Thomas, PLA
Principal, Landscape & Site Design
Zack co-launched B&V’s ”Site Design Studio,” and is excited to take on landscape projects of all shapes, sizes, and scales. He loves to get out of the city on weekends and makes a point of traveling to another country each year.
Robin Quinn, NCIDQ, LEED Green Associate
Director, Interior Design
Robin is delighted by the imaginative journey her interior design career has taken. In every project, she likes to celebrate the unexpected, especially the “ah-ha” moments where work and planning come together into a cohesive design.
Terry Allen
Director, Business Management
Terry is motivated by the momentum of busy, focused work. An advocate for financial literacy of all kinds, it isn't uncommon to find her enthusiastically unraveling the mysteries of a spreadsheet.

Our Story
Board & Vellum is a young and vibrant firm built on the idea that an informed and engaged team leads to better design and happy clients. We wouldn’t be where we are today without passion and hard work, and those same two things keep us going strong today.
Our Process
Bringing your project from “idea” to fruition is a little different at Board & Vellum. We give personal care to each of our projects, and you’ll be in the loop every step the way. The bonus: we are an integrated firm, so each project has access to plenty of great knowledge — and that leads to better design.
Our Culture
We are changing the game when it comes to what it’s like to work in an architecture firm. We provide great benefits, a fun and supportive place to work, and everyone has a say in the direction of the firm. Don’t be surprised if you hear laughter ringing through our office — we have a lot of fun together!
