Managing Principal, Founder

Jeff believes great design is born from strong partnerships, deep collaboration, and excellent organization. With over two decades designing and leading projects in the Seattle area, Jeff is a generalist architect with extensive experience in residential, retail, commercial, and multifamily projects across scales.

In 2011, Jeff founded Board & Vellum with the goal of being one of the best places to work, not just in Seattle, but in the United States. His vision has evolved into a positive, ego-free environment for employees and clients alike. Jeff’s expertise is frequently sought by newspapers, blogs, and other publications, including The Seattle Times. He was honored by the Puget Sound Business Journal with the “40 Under 40” award, has been recognized as one of the Top 200 Influencers in the Construction Industry and Top 100 Architects Influencing the Industry by Fixr, and one of the top two architects in Seattle by Build Direct.

Deeply dedicated to Seattle and the Capitol Hill community, Jeff strives to make the city a more equitable and beautiful place to live. He is co-chair of the 15th Avenue East Business Improvement Area and a board member of the University Child Development School. Jeff previously served as chair of the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce and continues to find new ways to connect with and give back to the local community.

Jeff earned a Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University. In his free time, you can find him spending time with his husband and their two sons, cooking, skiing, or hunkering down in the family LEGO room.

Jeff Pelletier is the founding member of the Board & Vellum ownership group.
