by Georgina Johnston 23 October 2020

Reflecting its continued commitment to innovation in design, Svigals + Partners (SP) has announced new leadership in its interior design studio as it also celebrates the career and contributions of Lynn Brotman, NCIDQ, IIDA. Brotman will be retiring from her career as an interior designer to pursue personal interests and “plenty of family time.” 

The firm has announced that Katherine Berger, NCIDQ, WELL AP, an associate, will assume the role of Director of Interior Design, providing a smooth transition for ongoing projects and longstanding clients of Svigals + Partners. 

After 17 years as the head of Lynn Brotman Interior Design, Brotman merged her firm with Svigals + Partners in 2017, and joined the leadership as Associate Principal. 

As I step back from my duties with Svigals + Partners to pursue other interests and opportunities, I’m delighted and confident about the creative, multidisciplinary team we have cultivated that will take up the mantle of interior design here. I consider my mentoring of young designers and architects over the years to be my most rewarding and valuable contribution. 

L. Brotman, former Director of Interior Designer, SP

During her tenure as Director of Interior Design, Brotman strengthened the firm’s strategic integration of architecture and interiors, leading the charge on significant projects. 

A graduate of the New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University in Boston, Berger’s diverse portfolio includes work in the healthcare, education, biotech, and corporate sectors, with over a decade of high profile work in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Recent projects have included multiple corporate office spaces for Technolutions and Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, facilities for Central Connecticut State University, and a new simulation lab and classrooms for Yale School of Nursing; additionally a NCDIQ-certified Interior Designer and WELL Accredited Professional.
