Eric Wippman

Eric Wippman is an architect living in Florida who balances his professional work with a deep appreciation for music, sports, family, and travel. His architectural career is marked by a thoughtful approach to design, with a strong focus on creating spaces that feel both functional and welcoming. When he steps away from the drafting table, he often turns to the saxophone or joins his family for a game of softball, continuing traditions that have shaped his personal life for years. Eric grew up in Florida and chose to stay in-state for college, where he pursued a degree in architecture. College was a time of both academic focus and personal exploration. While he dedicated himself to mastering the fundamentals of design, he never let go of his creative side. Music remained important, and he regularly played the saxophone, often performing with the university jazz band or casually with friends. These moments gave him a break from the rigorous demands of his studies and kept him connected to a more expressive part of himself. In addition to music, softball was a consistent presence throughout his college years. It wasn’t just a sport to him—it was a family tradition that brought a sense of continuity and enjoyment. Whether Eric was playing competitively or just for fun, the game offered an outlet to stay active and build friendships beyond the classroom. Balancing design work with music and sports required discipline, but he welcomed the structure and energy it added to his life. After graduating, Eric Wippman began his career at a small architecture firm where he started working on residential and community-focused projects. These early experiences helped him learn how to translate ideas into structures that met real-world needs. He worked closely with experienced architects, gaining insights into how to make spaces not only beautiful but also practical, sustainable, and accessible.
