Arcturis was founded in 1977 by Patricia Whitaker, IIDA, as Interior Space, Inc. (ISI), an interior design firm. In 2000, ISI’s name was changed to Arcturis to reflect the firm’s multidisciplinary approach and expertise. With approximately 50 employees, Arcturis provides planning, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and graphic design services for corporate, civic, health and wellness, education, hospitality and science and technology markets. In 2010, Ms. Whitaker appointed Traci O’Bryan as President of Arcturis with full responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the company. In 2013 Traci became President and CEO. Traci is joined on the leadership team by 3 other principals: Julie Keil, Megan Ridgeway and Mike Ratliff.

Today, at Arcturis, we practice relationship based design. The foundation is our collaboration with the client. Together, we explore every dimension of the need beginning with the individual and scaling up to the level of the organization and community. Our team of architects and designers push the quality and innovation of the design in the context of every relationship it will sustain. The results are twofold: Built environments that inspire and serve people. And relationships with clients that build their organizations locally, nationally and globally. Believing that design has a social responsibility component, we are committed to sustainable practices and philanthropic activities that enhance our relationship with our communities and planet.
