Graham began his career at Silman in 2008 and became an Associate in 2019.

 Since joining the firm, Graham has worked on and managed dozens of projects ranging in size and complexity from tenant fit-outs to private residences to large institutional buildings while working in both the New York and Boston offices. The projects cover the spectrum from new construction to renovations and have dealt with all common building materials (including steel, concrete, masonry, traditional wood framing, and most recently mass timber). Notable projects include the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC; the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY, and the new Dorris Duke Theater at Jacob’s Pillow, Becket, MA.

In addition to his project work, Graham has enjoyed helping the next generation of designers by teaching at various colleges throughout his career, including time at New York Institute of Technology, Roger Williams University, and Rhode Island School of Design.
