In the ever-evolving landscape of design and architecture, certain cities stand out as epicenters of innovation, drawing in talent from across the globe. Boston, with its rich history, vibrant culture, and dynamic corporate landscape, has emerged as a hotspot for international designers seeking new frontiers in their careers. A quarter of TRIA’s employees hail from outside the United States, and we wondered what factors contribute to the allure of working at TRIA.

“Boston boasts a robust corporate ecosystem that serves as a catalyst for creativity and collaboration. The city is home to many multinational companies, ranging from biotech giants to cutting-edge tech firms. TRIA’s commitment to these clients and employees who have diverse talents is what drew me here.

“At the heart of Boston’s appeal lies its status as a global hub for science and technology. With world-renowned universities like MIT and Harvard driving groundbreaking research and innovation, the city fosters socio-economic advancement. But more appealing are the amazing people at TRIA, who value hard work and welcome challenging projects. It has a small firm charm where everyone knows everyone and people genuinely care for each other.”

Although not a designer, Emma’s European heritage adds a certain “je ne sais quoi!” to our operations.
“C’est magnifique! When I came here 12 years ago and started working in the A/E/C industry, I immediately felt at home in this town. TRIA’s boutique size is a perfect match for my entrepreneurial spirit!”
