Ellen Woliner is the Founder and President of CorchiaWolinerRhoda, establishing the firm in 1980. She is responsible for the art direction and administration of the firm.

For 26 years, Ellen has spearheaded design assignments for some of the best and brightest corporations in America including: Proctor & Gamble, Prince Tennis, Pfizer, MasterCard, Citibank and PaineWebber. She has designed for every business category including: real estate, financial services, recreation, consumer, pharmaceutical, consulting and government.

Ellen’s expertise is her ability to take corporate messages and graphically interpret them in unexpected and convincing ways. She has won countless design awards, but more importantly, has kept the studio true to what it was at the beginning: A small, accomplished design firm with clients that are serious about great design.

She has always turned away from trendy design flourishes over the years and has instead collaborated with clients to create mission-appropriate, substantial and timeless design.

Ellen began her career in 1977 as an Art Director for Al Corchia, one of the top Manhattan designers of the 60s and 70s. In 1980, Al lost his battle with cancer and Ellen restarted the firm and has helped guide it to over two decades of success.

She is a graduate of The Ohio State University where she was an unparalleled design student.

Ellen lives in Chappaqua, New York with Todd, her husband and their two college-aged children.

She is a board member of the Horace Greeley Scholarship Fund in Chappaqua, NY. Ellen is a gourmet-grade cook, a potter and an avid reader.
