People

The ability to consistently think outside the box; the drive to expand our horizons; and our shared approach to collaborating with each other and the world … this is what sets a “Bergie” apart from the rest.

Behind the Bergmeyer brand is a team of exceptionally talented individuals with remarkably unique abilities as designers, architects, and strategists. Our people are critical to Bergmeyer’s continued evolution as a Design Collaborative, embracing proactive partnerships and an empowering approach to design.

The challenges of 2021 continue to ripple throughout the world and our industry. With the strength of our team, we adapted with a new strategic direction and a focus on the future. We are proud to announce the promotions of our colleagues who have proved to embody the core traits of Bergmeyer time and time again, playing an integral role in the firm’s continued success.

We are also pleased to recognize three new Associates. These forward-thinking individuals are recognized for their impact on others inside and outside the firm.
