Tim Keepers

Tim Keepers is an award-winning architect and designer whose work spans architecture, furniture, and product innovation. With more than 55 national and international design awards, published features in print and digital outlets, and three national television appearances, including America by Design, Tim is known for turning his clients initial thoughts and ideas into compelling architecture and brings bold concepts to life through thoughtful design and execution.

Tim holds a Master's of Architecture from the University of South Florida’s School of Architecture and Community Design, which is built upon the Sarasota Modern philosophy of architecture and design. His focus has been on commercial and residential projects, along with furniture and product design. His designs are not only recognized by critics and juries—he’s also a patented inventor, been a lecturer at AIA conferences, and an academic juror at leading schools of architecture, including USF, Georgia Tech, and Kennesaw State. His influence in the industry extends globally: he was selected to serve as a judge for the International Prize Designs for Modern Furniture + Lighting, alongside design luminaries such as Ferrari’s Chief Design Officer, Flavio Manzoni.

What makes Tim especially unique is his background as a professional wakeboarder. Before architecture, he competed at the highest levels of the sport—representing Team USA, riding the WWA Pro Tour, and placing in the Van’s Triple Crown of Wakeboarding.
