8.30.12 | Los Angeles, CA | Today, leading global interdisciplinary design firm Perkins+Will announced that Alice Hricak, LEED AP, has been named Managing Principal for Perkins+Will’s Los Angeles Interiors practice. An LA native, Hricak brings to Perkins+Will’s Los Angeles office more than 25 years of interior design experience in strategic planning and project management for complex clients ranging from major corporations and financial institutions to start-up companies and governmental agencies.
 
“Adding someone of Alice’s caliber to the Perkins+Will Los Angeles Interiors practice will help ensure the design process is a transformative one for both projects and clients,” said Gabrielle Bullock, Managing Director of Perkins+Will’s Los Angeles office. “Her knowledge of the way people interact and collaborate will help our clients be more productive and happier in their workplace environments.”
 
Hricak will lead the Los Angeles Interiors team in providing design solutions for both integrated architectural and stand-alone interiors projects. As Principal and Project Director in her previous position at AECOM, she was involved in every phase of the design process, earning real-world experience wrestling with the challenges encountered in today’s diverse corporate environment. Her in-depth understanding of emerging workplace trends enables her to provide clients with the tools to identify, develop, and implement goals that will enhance the corporate culture while improving productivity and efficiency. She has shared her experience and understanding with clients such as AETNA, the Annenberg Foundation, Cushman & Wakefield, DirecTV, Ernst & Young, Mattel, NBC Universal, and Walt Disney.
 
“My biggest interest is in using design to facilitate collaboration,” said Hricak. “The management team of Perkin+Will’s Los Angeles office has, for the most part, been working together for more than a decade. This fact, combined with the exciting projects planned and underway, is inspiring.”
 
Hricak’s studied approach, whether leading a large team for a complex headquarters relocation or a small team for budget-focused fast track projects, is to offer design solutions that both reflect and build on clients' initial goals. Because she stays ahead of trends, adjusting to the requirements of a changing workplace, she is able to create spaces that offer a true reflection of clients and their needs.
