Vince Myers, president and co-founding principal of DIGroup Architecture (DIG), has been named a 2025 Diversity in Business honoree by The Philadelphia Business Journal. This notable recognition acknowledges Myers’ significant contributions to the architecture industry and his unwavering commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion within the broader business community.

“I am deeply honored to be included among this year’s standouts and celebrate a family tradition of advancing diversity in architecture through a shared passion for design and social responsibility,” said Myers. “At DIG, we strive to create spaces that uplift communities, from reimagining public areas to designing inspiring learning environments. Our work is driven by a commitment to serving people, bridging the equity gap and making a positive impact.”

Through DIG’s MBE/DBE/SBE designations, Myers believes transformative designs and inclusionary business practices make it is possible to connect people, improve lives and enrich and strengthen communities – all while creating career building blocks for women and people of color through mentorship, licensure development, career experience and networking.

During his career, Myers has played a key role in reshaping built environments across Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York and beyond for the last two decades. As a founding principal of DIG and the firm’s president since 2016, Myers has championed an “Architecture for Change” vision that has been a catalyst for growth and expansion.

A resident of Mercer County, NJ, Myers has taken the lead in expanding DIG’s presence and portfolio across Philadelphia, where the firm established an office five years ago.

Recent community-focused projects include the $22 million transformation of Philadelphia’s Edwin Forrest School, which revitalized the Mayfair neighborhood. Myers has also spearheaded the modernization of the Paschalville and Blanche A. Nixon Cobbs Creek library branches, a combined $21.7 million investment in vital community hubs. His strategic guidance of the Budd Bioworks project, a 2.7-million-square-foot adaptive reuse in North Philadelphia where the firm recently co-located its office, also has garnered industry recognition for its strategic planning.

Myers’ commitment to reshaping communities also extends beyond his work in architecture. He is a vocal advocate for the next generation of architects and designers, particularly underrepresented groups. Through his involvement with the ACE Mentor Program, he guides young people in architecture, construction and engineering careers, offering hands-on experience while fostering love for the industry.

In addition, he established the E. Harvey Myers Scholarship, named for his late father who was one of New Jersey’s first Black architects. This $5,000 annual scholarship supports high school graduates pursuing careers in design-related fields.

The Philadelphia Business Journal’s Diversity in Business Awards honors leaders who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and made meaningful contributions to their industries. Myers’ inclusion reflects his ongoing commitment to mentorship, equity and designing spaces that strengthen communities.
