Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Wai is an architect and designer with a decade of experience translating research-driven design into built work, currently practicing at Ogrydziak/Prillinger Architects in San Francisco. Trained at UC Berkeley (MArch and BA in Architecture), he blends academic rigor—evident from roles as a graduate instructor and lead peer adviser—with hands-on project leadership from junior designer to project manager. His approach treats each design challenge as a research process, combining critical thinking, writing and iterative design to shape thoughtful, context-aware outcomes. He also maintains an academic connection as an Assistant Professor of Geographic Information Science, signaling a strong interest in spatial data and interdisciplinary methods. Colleagues describe him as a reflective thinker who surfaces non-obvious insights through careful analysis and storytelling, not just form-making. Based in a tech-forward city, he operates at the intersection of practice, pedagogy and research, bringing both craft and curiosity to complex projects.
