Hi! My name is Tim, and I am a recent graduate from the University of Michigan's M.Arch program. With 2 years of work experience in industrial and manufacturing design, and 5+ years experience with general architectural practice, I am looking to join a strong, design oriented firm that focuses on people, through both process and function. My time with both academic and professional organizations have exposed me to a range of discipline-leading software that are critical to working today. I am most familiar with technology based modeling and drafting - using programs such as Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, Navisworks, and BIM 360 - but I also have experience in leading high level meetings, project management, general construction, and design research.
My professional goals over the next five years are to study, learn, and grow as part of an innovative studio that is capable of supporting my path to architectural licensure (via the Architecture Registration Exams). I am looking for any mentorship and/or guidance I as work toward this professional aspiration. Having experience with fast-paced offices, I am interested in any opportunities that could contribute to the addition of my professional values and ethics. Should you have a position available, please feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn messaging or email (jockers.arch1@gmail.com). Please find a current list of experiences detailed in my profile below, and a portfolio /recent work curated in the profile's Featured Section, for your consideration.
