New Associates
OLIN is pleased to announce two new Associates – Elise Geyelin (left) and Les Bishop (right).

Elise is fascinated by the design process in its entirety—that is, the experience of seeing a project come to life from the first concept design through the final touches upon construction. This attention to detail stems from her background in horticulture and planting design, and she applies this skill set to a wide diversity of projects at OLIN—from the Morse and Stiles Residential Colleges at Yale University to Xiamen Huxindao, a mixed use development in China.

OLIN welcomes Les back to the studio. He began his landscape architecture career at OLIN in 1994 as a Senior Landscape Architect and was a member of the studio for ten years, having worked on some of our most notable projects, including Camana Bay, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Conference Center and Independence National Historical Park. Through his professional practice, Les has gathered expertise at all project phases, from analysis and master planning, through full construction administration. He is known for his collegial working style, collaborating with designers at all levels and with consultants in a wide variety of situations and disciplines, including architects, engineers and contractors.
