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.

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.”
