Her experience includes single and multi-family residential design, hospitality, historic preservation, educational institutions and government contract work.  Rotunda has lent her expertise to outreach involvement programs, including the ACE (Architecture/Construction/Engineering) Mentor Program.

“DeStefano Architects is truly lucky to welcome Britni aboard”, said Lisa DeStefano, founder and principal architect at D|A. “Her ample experience, contagious energy, creative eye and commitment to the industry will be of great benefit to the firm, while D|A can offer her exposure to interesting and engaging project types and styles throughout New England.  We are so pleased to have her join the D|A family.”
