In 1971, Hirshen became a partner with Gammill, Trumbo & Cook forming HGTC and later in 1994, HTA (Hirshen/Trumbo & Associates). Hirshen started in academic career in 1966 as a lecturer in the Department of Architecture at UC Berkeley and served as Chair of the Department (1982-1983) and Director of the Center for Planning and Development Research (1978-1981).
