Celebrating New Leadership:
Two HMFHers Elevated to Associate
We are pleased to announce the promotions of Hazel Ryerson and Jaime McGavin to Associate. With these promotions, we recognize their significant achievements in design, mentorship, and sustainability initiatives, enabling us to better serve our client communities.
Hazel Ryerson, AIA | Associate
Hazel’s strong design sensibilities and dedicated mentorship have made a measurable impact on both our project work and firm culture. With a depth of experience and expertise in universal design, Hazel ensures inclusivity is an integral part of all our projects, from interventions at Medford’s City Hall to a new 900-student middle school in Concord, NH.
Alongside her design work, Hazel is a natural mentor, often participating in outreach programs to introduce local high school students to the design profession and teaching architecture courses at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt).
“Hazel and Jaime each embody our commitment to creating healthy, inclusive K-12 learning environments. Hazel’s dedication to mentoring emerging architects and Jaime’s leading role in our sustainability initiatives have been instrumental to HMFH’s continued success.”
Bobby Williams | Principal, HMFH Architects
Jaime McGavin, AIA, LEED AP BD+C | Associate
Jaime is a creative problem solver and versatile architect who has brought consistent rigor and insight to HMFH projects including Franklin Elementary School, where she is leading construction administration, and Chapman Middle School, where she designed unique laboratories for career technical exploration programs.
An integral member of HMFH’s Sustainability Committee, Jaime has managed the LEED certification process for several projects. She also leads our data tracking and reporting for the AIA 2030 Commitment, a nationwide initiative to achieve carbon neutrality in the built environment, and regularly completes research initiatives to advance HMFH’s sustainable design standards.
