Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. was founded in 1987 in Hartford, CT by Ruth (Halliday) Fitzgerald. Ruth believed that planning should encompass all aspects of community and it should be accomplished by integrating active and meaningful engagement throughout the process. Ruth retired in 2019 and remains a welcome member of the FHI Studio family.

Our company has grown but our core values haven't changed: to provide exemplary planning and design services to our clients and to make a difference in our communities. Over the past 4 decades, FHI Studio has evolved from a small, home-based, company with targeted consulting expertise to a full-service planning, design, and communications consulting firm that services clients across the northeast and mid-Atlantic states from three offices. FHI Studio also undertakes federal research programs and provides niche services throughout the U.S. In 2006, FHI Studio transitioned from Ruth as sole owner to an employee-owned company, with a commitment to generational ownership succession.

We encourage creativity and strategic thinking to serve our clients, our communities, and our own growth as professionals. We promote a flexible and supportive work environment, emphasizing collaboration across disciplines and geographies. Our clients and industry partners value us for our integrity, dedication, and quality service.

As we look ahead, we hold firmly to our core values, our culture, and our love for what we do.
