Tim’s passion and capacity for designing authentic contextual places, and comprehensive immersive environments has been recognized with regional and national awards for several of the homes, neighborhoods, flagship retail stores, and restaurants he has designed. Tim earned a professional B'Arch at Cornell University and practiced with leading firms in New York City (Pompei AD, Sills Hunniford) and Greenwich, Connecticut (Haverson Architecture & Design) before moving to Massachusetts in 2004. He developed a thriving design department in three years with Groton Design/Build contractor (Platt Builders), broadened and modernized the vocabulary in several years as a principal with a staid Concord, MA Architecture firm (DSK), and integrates all of this broad experience in his place-making practice at Studio InSitu.

In 2009, Tim founded the Moonlight Studio, a volunteer after-hours program whose motto is “we design like we give a damn”. The studio has designed entries for the SHIFTboston, Build-a-Better-‘Burb, New Bedford Whaling Museum, and Waltham’s Embassy Park competitions, placing 2nd in New Bedford. Other Moonlight projects include a deep-green 20-acre artists’ co-housing neighborhood and farm, and a light-green house for the North-Central MASS chapter of Habitat for Humanity.

Tim advocates for sustainability and community as a member of the International Living Building Institute, the Congress for the New Urbanism and the SEEd network promoting a development paradigm with a triple-bottom-line of Social, Economic, and Environmental benefits.
