We are pleased to share PAYETTE has been recognized by AIA New England as a 2022 AIA New England Emerging Professional Friendly Firm for the fifth year in a row! The award is sponsored by New England’s AIA Components.
A key initiative for our firm is our Young Designers Core (YDC), founded in 2000 by young designers who saw potential to enhance the professional development of emerging staff. As a grassroots initiative, the YDC has maintained a great level of autonomy and innovation, even as the architectural and economic climate has changed around it. The most successful facet of the YDC model has been its adaptability; over the past 23 years the program has been able to transform and change to cater to the current needs of our young architects and designers. The underlying mission of the group has always stayed the same; to elevate young designers, but the methods have not. From year to year, the YDC’s focus may shift from education, to mentorship, to career advancement, or even to community and culture building. The events and opportunities that the YDC offers changes to align with this focus every year.
Congratulations to all the firms who achieved Emerging Professional Friendly Firm Status!
“You have to do a really good job to do what society needs. That’s something that is worth it.”
