Tami Hausman, PhD

Founder and President

Founder and president Tami Hausman created Hausman LLC as a way to help architecture and design professionals amplify their influence inside and outside the AEC industry. Tami takes a hands-on approach that begins by helping each client to strategize the best way forward. After that, she oversees a focused marketing and public relations outreach program that broadens and expands her clients’ visibility.

For over 20 years, Tami Hausman has been an expert advisor to top firms who seek out her experience and insights. Her international roster of clients includes architects, engineers, construction firms, expeditors, interiors firms, real estate developers, project management firms, construction cost consultants, artists, and non-profit organizations. Using her wide network of contacts in the media, Tami positions her clients’ knowledge and expertise to best advantage and opens doors to targeted audiences that strengthen their position in the marketplace.

In addition to her experience in marketing and public relations, Tami is an architectural historian who frequently writes and lectures about trends and topics in architecture and urban planning. Tami is a board member of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF). Formerly, she was a board member of Architexx, the Urban Design Forum, Docomomo New York/Tri-State, the Society for Marketing Professionals, New York Chapter, and the Fire Island Pines Property Owners Association. She has served as a volunteer professional for the Taproot Organization, which provides marketing support to diverse non-profit organizations.

Tami has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brown University in Semiotics-French and a Master of Arts and Ph.D. in Art History from New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. A Pittsburgh native (go Steelers!), she was born to live in New York City, but also enjoys traveling to the world’s great cities and beaches.
