In 2023, Maura became the first female Partner in CCY Architects’ history. Since joining the firm in 2012, Maura has been an integral design leader at CCY, providing progressive insights and leadership to some of the firm's most important projects and internal initiatives. Working across typologies—namely hospitality, affordable housing, and private residential—she has carved out a unique place within the firm as well as the industry for her progressive, forward-thinking approach to design.
“Maura is a natural leader. Working alongside her for twelve years, it has been incredible to see her professional evolution from a determined and hardworking designer into an essential voice for the firm. Maura brings people together, she finds creative solutions, and designs wonderful places that are a delight to be in. I can’t imagine a more deserving architect for this recognition.”
Maura’s recent and ongoing work includes private residences, boutique hospitality and workforce housing projects in Telluride, Colorado, and master planning for a hospitality-based enclave near Los Angeles. A through line of her career has been community engagement, with many of her projects involving extensive public processes and consensus building.
In addition to her design leadership, Trumble is a critical member of the recruiting and sustainability initiatives in the office, continuing to advance equity in design and high-performance practices across project types. She has lent her design voice to Dwell, AD Pro (Architectural Digest), the Urban Land Institute, as well as Denver Design Week, Aspen Art Museum, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and Telluride Arts. In 2019, she was profiled in Aspen Magazine’s “New Generation of Design,” spotlighting prominent young designers in Aspen.
