About
Troy Street was my first home in Chicago.
It had its old-house trouble — its plumbing was about a century old and the kitchen needed work— but unless you turned on a faucet, you could never tell. Troy, the insides painted in bright yellow, orange, and blue, was full of life, hard work, and relationship. At Troy Street, my family and friends spent Sundays in front of a TV projector, rang in the new year over clinked glass, and awaited election results. We learned how to cook a turkey, played ruthlessly over Sorry!, and shared stories around a backyard fire. At Troy, we worked hard too. In those four walls, we crafted business plans, pulled all nighters to finish the design of a project, and wrote lesson plans, large contracts, and grants. My husband’s first book was written and edited there, and my PhD started there too.
The energy found in that first home is the same energy found in Troy Street Professional Services today. By entrusting your work to Troy Street, you can of course expect top-tier work, meticulous iterations, dedicated thought partnership, and polished products, but you can also expect the warmth and compassion engrained in that Troy Street house and intrinsic to me. At Troy Street, hard work and excellence cannot be separated from compassion and trust, warmth and friendship. You’re welcome here, you’re wanted here, and we’re going to do a lot of amazing work while you stay.
At Troy Street, there’s just no other way to live.
