Promotion Announcement!!🎉
 
We’re proud to share that Jason Gitlitz, Assoc. AIA has been promoted to Senior Workforce Strategy Consultant at DesignForce!
 
Jason joined us two years ago after spending nearly a dozen years in the architecture and design industry.

Jason’s deep passion for the AEC industry, transparent and thoughtful approach to consulting, and professional maturity have been an incredible value add to our growing practice. Beyond his client work, he also gives back to the profession through his volunteer work with Architecture in the Schools through District Architecture Center, helping students build creativity, confidence, and a passion for the built environment.
