2026 Women in Construction: Bridget Tirocchi, DACON

Bridget Tirocchi, AIA
Project Architect
DACON

What current or recently completed project, accomplishment or initiative are you most excited about, and why does it matter for your team, clients or community? I recently received my license to practice architecture in the State of Massachusetts. This is something I’ve been working towards since my internships in college, and it’s been a long road to say the least! Having been through the exam process, I now have a greater knowledge base when working with clients, and am more confident in advising or answering questions as a design professional.

I’ve really started to enjoy cooking and perfecting recipes, and it’s also been a great way to save money.
