The People Behind the Product
Our team combines diverse backgrounds from inside and outside the industry, bringing a fresh eye to every project. We do things how they should be done, not how they’ve always been done.
Meet the Team
At Hightower we respect everyone's need for privacy. As such, we offer our team members the option to provide an alternate photo that represents them or waive their photo option for just their name and role on our team.
