Tjaden Elliker

Tjaden Elliker brings a thoughtful, grounded approach to design — one that balances beauty with purpose and creativity with intention. She is passionate about creating spaces that are functional, sustainable, and accessible to all.

Tjaden allows her sense of curiosity and calm to infuse her creative process. Whether collaborating with a team or engaging with clients, she takes the time to listen closely, ask questions, and consider problems from multiple perspectives. Her goal is always to create environments where people feel both inspired and dignified — spaces that serve their purpose without imposing.

At RMW, Tjaden appreciates the culture of authenticity and support. She’s drawn to projects that allow for thoughtful, intentional design where every detail contributes to the overall experience. She enjoys the balance of creative and technical challenges that come with each new opportunity and finds fulfillment in working alongside a team of passionate, curious designers.

Outside the studio, Tjaden finds creative renewal through movement, travel, and quiet moments. A dedicated yoga practitioner, she values the clarity and presence it brings — qualities she carries into her work. Whether exploring new places with her husband and dogs or getting lost in a good book, she’s always collecting inspiration from the world around her. That grounded perspective is part of what makes her such a thoughtful designer and teammate.
