Damaris Hollingsworth connects her Minneapolis-based architectural and design services firm with the communities she works with—often communities of color—to bring shared understanding from differences. She focuses on opportunities to apply her skills to projects that provide wealth-building opportunities for historically oppressed and excluded people. Her recent work includes the Regional Acceleration Center offices in North Minneapolis. 

In 2016, Hollingsworth co-founded the Minneapolis chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects to build networking and learning opportunities.
