Company Culture
Rooted In Purpose. Driven By People.
We believe that building stronger communities starts with cultivating a strong team culture.
At Freeman, we take pride in the work we do and the people we do it with. Our culture is built on trust, collaboration, and shared purpose. Whether we’re designing infrastructure, navigating regulatory complexities, or revitalizing a neighborhood corridor, we work together across disciplines to deliver thoughtful, community-focused solutions.
We maintain a supportive and inclusive environment where feedback is valued, innovation is encouraged, and every team member is empowered to grow. With open communication and mutual respect at the core of our culture, we create space for both professional advancement and personal fulfillment.



Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
As a certified MBE, DBE, and SBE firm, Freeman is committed to building a diverse and equitable workplace. We celebrate different perspectives and foster an environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive. This commitment isn’t just part of our company, it’s part of how we shape the communities we serve.
Our Workspace
We work out of a renovated historic firehouse in Hartford, Connecticut, a space that reflects our character: open, connected, and full of energy. From project kickoffs to coffee breaks, our team stays engaged and energized. We believe a welcoming environment makes space for meaningful contributions, honest conversations, and plenty of teamwork.
Our office culture blends professionalism with personality—balancing deadlines with downtime and always showing up for one another.
