Jimmie Drummond is studio founder, architect, educator and lighting artist. His pluralistic role within the discipline of architecture demonstrates a desire to delve into detail and traverse the many dimensions of this creative practice. He is compelled by socially-driven causes that enact positive change at all scales.

Jimmie’s portfolio of work includes multi-housing development, commercial hospitality, mixed-use development, and office workspaces. With a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in Interior Design from Howard University and a Dual-Masters Degree in Architecture + Lighting Design from Parsons School of Design, Jimmie is the first African-American to graduate with both Masters degrees.

Prior to helming his own practice, Jimmie spent time in New York City as an architect at SHoP Architects and Bernheimer Architecture in New York City; and as a lighting designer for FLUX Studio.

He has taught at Howard, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) on the subjects of architecture, real-estate development, structural technology, and construction management. Jimmie had also been a guest lecturer at Parsons and the University of Maryland.
