Mitra Memari

Born in Iran, Mitra emigrated to the U.S. as a teenager. With the last name of Memari, which translates to architect in her native language of Farsi, one thing is clear: Mitra was born to be an architect. Through adapting to a new culture and language at a young age, she developed a passion for diversity, inclusion, and equity. In her practice of architecture and in her role as a partner, Mitra has made it her mission to create a more equitable profession that is representative of the communities in which we live and work. Mitra’s ethics-driven approach also includes a passion for sustainable design—a passion she leverages to create seamless, collaborative, and lasting relationships across client and project teams.
