Celebrating Growth + Advancement
Identifying emerging talent for continued growth and expansion, TAT is celebrating promotions for two key team members. The newly elevated professionals include Nate Thomas, who has been named TAT’s
Director of Sustainability and Meghann Van Dorn, who serves as Director of Interior Design, who has been named as an Associate.
These new appointments reflect a broadened emphasis on client relationships, integrated service offerings, and sustainable design practices. The promotions recognize the significant and valuable contributions that these individuals have made to the firm’s continued success. In their respective new roles, they will continue their current responsibilities alongside greater managerial, business development, and leadership commitment.
Meghann and Nate lead essential areas of TAT’s practice, and embody the dynamic nature of the firm. They also exemplify the opportunities that are possible within TAT’s culture, which offers the freedom and flexibility for professionals to grow within the firm. The talent and commitment of these leaders – and their ability to work together and integrate different practice areas – will enable TAT to succeed in using architecture to foster prosperous communities.
We’re excited to recognize these two professionals’ contributions to TAT’s success, as well as their enthusiasm for the firm’s culture, their commitment to our continued growth, and the pursuit of exciting new opportunities.
