Carmen is an Project Architect who joined our team following completion of her Master of Architecture at Washington University-St. Louis in May 2020. While completing her degree, she was an active board member of the American Institute of Architects Students. She consulted on the reformation of the curriculum for the Alberti Program, a Washington University program to introduce elementary and middle schoolers to design and architecture, to an online learning format. In addition, she has participated in the Reimagine Town Hall with the Architecture League NY, a workshop for members of the class of 2020 to reimagine the role of architecture in light of the issues of coronavirus, climate change, and economic and social inequality. Carmen is a core-organizer for Design as Protest, a collective focused on equity in the built environment.

“We get that lines sketched on paper have a real impact in the world, so we think about consequence a lot. It’s more than the tangible building. It’s what the project does for the people we’re working for. It’s the ability for them to achieve their vision.”
Joel Fuoss, LEED AP, Principal
“If you line up the buildings Trivers has executed, they’re all very different in a positive way. All our projects are rooted in ideas and context. It’s very apparent that we’re thinking about a specific project, for a specific client, in a specific location.”
Amy Gilbertson, LEED Green Associate, Fitwel Amb., Principal
“We’re passionate about design and practice. Our experience is that great design comes from being able to create great relationships among people from diverse skillsets and backgrounds.”
