Elliott Bay Design Group Opens East Coast Office

Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG), Seattle, Wash., has announced the opening of its new East Coast office in New York. The office will provide professional engineering and naval architecture services as well as waterfront development expertise to clients on the East Coast, and is a springboard for future growth in the region, the firm said in the January 9 announcement.

“This is an exciting time for EBDG and marks a major milestone in our 30-year history,” states Christina Villiott, vice president-sales and marketing. “This fourth office sets the stage for increased client support across the U.S. and includes new markets for the firm along with continued growth for our employees.”

In support of this expansion, EBDG has hired Catherine “Kate” Hale to establish its East Coast presence. Hale is a systems engineer and a certified port executive. She is qualified to manage port initiatives and aid in development of port master plans.

Hale received a Master of Science degree in maritime systems environmental engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental biology science with a minor in sustainability from Simmons College.
