“We believe in creating a positive, engaging and communicative culture, which provides a solid foundation for enterprise longevity and success. Culture will morph, and you can either let it happen or you can influence how it happens. We foster influencers.”
-Trish Mills, Managing Director of Human Resources

We’re visionaries. Disrupters. Innovators.
We like to win – new business, but also Jenga.

We don’t like to rest on our laurels (though it would be easy to do).

Diversity & Mentorship

As a successful women-owned business enterprise for over 30 years, Cerami is an advocate for promoting mentorship and diversity in business. Our firm consists of 25% women and we are committed to the advancement of women, especially in the field of design.

In keeping with our mission, our firm and team members are dedicated supporters of mentorship programs, such as The Salvadori Center, Non-Traditional Employment for Women (NEW), and The ACE Mentor Program.

ACE is a not-for-profit organization serving high school youth who are exploring careers in Architecture, Construction or Engineering. Cerami mentors, and professionals from leading design and construction firms, volunteer their time weekly throughout the school year for a deep dive into industry principles. The program concludes with a student design competition and scholarship awards.

“Having the opportunity to be in meetings with our CEO and to genuinely have her ear means my mentorship is constant.”
-Cassey Stypowany, Senior Associate

Internship

Cerami hosts a summer-long internship program for our acoustical design and technology consulting studios. Cerami interns learn basic principles of their respective discipline, are immersed in diverse, real-world projects and gain great exposure to the working environment.

“Cerami blends the technical aspects of acoustical engineering while keeping in mind the aesthetic design of each project. This experience has opened my eyes to a new world of work. I will be keeping Cerami at the top of my list when thinking about my future career.”
-Oscar Flory, Intern 2019
