Riley-Marini promoted to project manager at DJSA
Raynham, MA DJSA Architecture PC, a full-service architectural firm specializing in commercial and corporate design, has promoted Deven Riley-Marini to project manager within the firm.
Riley-Marini joined the firm as an assistant project manager in May of 2023.
In her new role, Riley-Marini manages all aspects of client, team, and project coordination. She is responsible for leading projects from initial concept through to construction. Additionally, she interacts directly with clients, as well as with consultants and local permitting officials as she guides projects through initial zoning, planning, and design review.
Current projects she’s leading include a mixed-use development on the Cape and South Coast. Her abilities to understand each town’s different approaches to zoning and to work collaboratively with others contributed to her promotion, as did her strong presentation and interpersonal skills.
Riley-Marini earned a bachelor of arts degree in architecture at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is an avid reader and enjoys hiking, camping, or skiing in her free time.
“Since day one, Deven has been a focused, driven professional willing to dive in and take the lead on any task,” said Dennis Swart, president of DJSA Architecture PC. “Her fun and engaging personality has also made her a great addition to the DJSA team, and her promotion is very well-deserved.”
