ENR New York's 2026 Legacy Award Winner Is Mavis Wiggins

ENR New York's 2026 Legacy Award Winner, Mavis Wiggins, will be featured in the April 2026 issue of ENR East.
Mavis Wiggins, former managing executive and global workplace creative director at New York City-based design firm TPG Architecture, is ENR New York’s 2026 Legacy Award winner. She will be featured in the April print issue of ENR East.
Throughout her more than four-decade-long professional career, Wiggins has been recognized as an influential leader, bold innovator and committed client advocate at her firm. Her versatile portfolio includes work across financial services, hospitality, media, entertainment and consumer brands. She applied an avant-garde approach to design that respects each client's unique vision, listening to concerns and meeting needs to create the ideal space.
During her 14-year tenure at TPG Architecture, her team brought to life countless award-winning spaces in many of New York City's most iconic towers, including the Seagram Building and One Vanderbilt Tower.
Wiggins' far-reaching influence has been recognized on numerous occasions, including at the International Interior Design Association 2018 Leaders Breakfast and the St. Francis Food Pantries Shelters’ 2019 Women of Valor Awards. The following year, she was selected as Interior Design's Best Interior Designer: Corporate Interiors.
In 2021, Wiggins was inducted into the association College of Fellows–its highest honor to professional members–and in 2022, Interior Design's Hall of Fame, for contributions to the interior design field.
Wiggins has used this platform to inspire creativity and innovation within her studio and encourage young minority designers to pursue their career aspirations– which she continues to do in retirement.
