PAYETTE Promotions: Across the Practice

It is with great pleasure we announce the following promotions within the firm. This broad and diverse group of 22 individuals influences multiple critical facets of our practice—science, healthcare, design, project management, planning, interior design, landscape design, building science and information technology. The common theme is the rigor and precision which they all apply to the finely tuned craft of their work. It is also a recognition of the range of skills and talents required for a practice like ours to thrive.

In this group, we have also added a new Principal, Susan Blomquist. Susan is an accomplished architect and a leader in the profession, who brings deep expertise and leadership to our healthcare practice. Susan’s promotion reflects another step in an ongoing ownership transition across overlapping generations.

Please join us in celebrating our talented colleagues. In-depth profiles on all of the newly promoted individuals will be featured on our blog over the course of the next few weeks.
