Our Team

Since the founding of TAP in 1988 we have seen dramatic changes in not only the area of architecture but also in our home. As our environment has changed, we have strived to always be a leader in all facets of our practice and to face new challenges in creative ways. TAP benefits from the progressive metropolitan culture of our home in one of the top up and coming cities in the US, Oklahoma City. Our team is made up of curious and innovative individuals who thrive in an open and collaborative studio environment.
