A New Chapter of Growth Within the MSS Studio
We’re excited to share some great news from the studio! Five team members have recently stepped into new roles that reflect their impact, leadership, and the values we share at MSS.
This includes the introduction of three new Director-level positions, created to recognize the impactful contributions of our leaders across the studio and with our clients. These roles give them the space to focus their strengths where they matter most: guiding teams, mentoring others, and continuing to raise the bar on service and design. We’re also thrilled to recognize two additional colleagues for their well-earned promotions to Senior Associates. We couldn’t be prouder to celebrate this next step in their journeys!
Please join us in congratulating:
