HGA was founded on the belief that diverse perspectives are integral to great design. As a firm, we are dedicated to learning and growing. Our definition of diversity has evolved, inspiring us to build our culture, contribute to our communities and create work that is inclusive and accessible.
In 2021, Terri Howard joined us as Director of Equity and has been leading the charge, aligning our strategic focus on research, sustainability and equity. Her initiatives have transformed our workplace dynamics, fostered meaningful conversations and provided continual learning opportunities.
We prioritize forging authentic partnerships with small businesses and local nonprofits in Milwaukee dedicated to addressing issues of equity and social justice, amplifying the impact of their voices. Our goal is to craft a workplace and industry where equity isn’t a checkbox – it’s a living, breathing ethos that shapes everything we do.
“A genuine understanding of equity is to recognize that it is not something to achieve; it is an ever-evolving commitment.”
– Terri Howard | HGA Director of Equity
