Our Team

Tim Terman, NCARB

Partner, Senior Architect,

“I have a fundamental belief that our smartest processes allow us to spend more time on design—and to meet and exceed our clients’ critical success factors.”

Tim is a member of Design Collaborative’s Education Studio. For more than two decades, DC’s clients have benefitted from his steadfast commitment to their vision. With a love for both designing and implementing, Tim excels as both an architect and a project manager.

Being a lifelong problem-solver, Tim consistently seeks ways to help improve our firm. Our clients benefit from his efforts, as each DC’er is better able to focus on the most important and results-driven aspects of their work. He helps our clients articulate their critical success factors to identify what they seek for their space to accomplish. He then guides our team to reach those specific goals.
