A R O Culture

The daily practice of collaboration thrives at ARO, from our studio to our working relationship with clients, consultants, and stakeholders. The office culture is a close-knit community that nurtures shared principles and a cooperative spirit in the service of design excellence.

We encourage exploration, experimentation, and fun within and outside the office, from studio-wide design conversations at Friday pinups and Monday morning check-ins, to annual traditions like Pumpkitecture and Day of Action.

Regular lunch-and-learns and tours of local fabricators and design projects around the city support ARO’s core directives of research and learning.

The multitude of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives among our team strengthens the studio’s creative process and our collective vision for transformative positive design.
