OC Global Woman of the Year
PariSima Hassani named an OC Global Woman of the Year
The Iranian American Women’s Foundation is honored to congratulate our member, PariSima Hassani, on being named a 2013 OC Global Woman of the Year. Presented at Coastline Community College Foundation’s annual OC Global Women’s Conference, the award recognizes five outstanding women who have made significant contributions to their organizations, their professions, and their community.
PariSima is the Managing Principal and CEO of Westgroup Designs, an award-winning architecture, design and planning firm in Orange County whose work has been recognized and published nationally and internationally.
The Annual Global Women’s Conference serves to champion and recognize women who have made significant contributions to their professions, organizations and their community. With over 25 years of extensive experience in public and private architecture, the success of PariSima’s firm is attributed to both her insightful and capable leadership, as well a clear vision statement directed to her clients: To Be Your Partner In Your Vision. She steers the firm forward with a warm welcome and a deliberate commitment to new opportunities. Parisima believes that inspiration imagines the possible; a visionary partnership delivers the ideal.
PariSima’s global, progressive outlook for design mirrors that of life’s opportunities, that “Great design may be complex beneath the surface, but its message should be simple and universal.”
This perspective for business, along with her focus on delivering outstanding service and distilling clarity from the complex, are prime examples of how to reflect one’s personal integrity and character in your professional brand.
PariSima is committed to and inspired by her passion to enhance and enrich people's lives in their work place, and strives toward a new era of design and sophistication in architecture. She has gained respect and trust not only through her creativity but as a result of her integrity in business and high deference to the environment. Using the power of simplicity, minimalism and layered use of materials, her work and personality evoke emotions and inspire the human heart, and have been showcased in numerous publications.
PariSima holds a Bachelor of Art and Science from the University of Houston, a Bachelor of Architecture from Kansas State University, and has received a certificate in Campus Design from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
