Retreats cultivate culture, strengthen connectivity, and create space for organizations to reflect and grow. Our recent Northworks gathering offered just that—a moment to honor twenty years of practice while looking ahead with clarity and excitement.
We welcomed team members from across the country to our Chicago studio, joined by partners in PR, technology, and local leadership. Together, we reflected on our progress, expanding national presence, and shared commitment to curating the Art of Living through design.
We also celebrated three leaders whose vision continues to shape Northworks’ thoughtful growth.
Chirag Patel, promoted to Partner, advances our multifamily and commercial work with discipline, care, and a collaborative mindset.
Abby Petri, promoted to Partner, guides Mountain West operations with foresight, ensuring seamless client experiences and supporting the next generation of leadership.
Garrett Harabedian, promoted to Principal, brings technical expertise, clear communication, and optimism to every project, elevating both process and outcomes.
As we move forward, the retreat reminded us that Northworks is built on more than design—it is a shared pursuit of excellence, connection, and enduring craft. With two decades behind us and a promising future ahead, we remain committed to designing with purpose, building with integrity, and celebrating the people who make our work possible.
