Atlanta, GA – It’s been five years since the Rosemann Atlanta team was lucky enough to gain the Britt Michaels! Born and raised in Germany, Britt came to us with a master’s in architecture from Technische Universitaet Berlin and a world of experience—quite literally.

Before joining us in 2021, Britt gained multifamily project expertise in Berlin for four years, then perfected her talents in New York City. There, she didn’t just survive the hustle and bustle—she navigated every phase of architecture from schematic design to construction administration for 13 years. She worked on everything from cozy apartments to those iconic NYC renovations.

In 2018, she made her way down to Atlanta, bringing her skills to a range of projects, including affordable housing, senior living, student housing and more.

Thank you, Britt, for five incredible years. We’re happy to have you on our team and can’t wait to see what amazing things you’ll bring in the next five and beyond!
