We’re excited to celebrate a major achievement for one of our own: Jack Pierce is officially a licensed architect and proud new member of the AIA.
Jack joined Smith Sinnett after graduating from NC State with degrees in Environmental Design and Architecture, bringing with him an impressive mix of curiosity, technical skill, and an eagerness to learn. From the start, he’s stood out for his ability to dive into the details—whether he’s exploring how a façade anchors to a structural system or thoughtfully coordinating the functional layers that bring a building to life.
This milestone reflects the qualities we’ve seen in Jack every day. He’s disciplined, focused, and genuinely enthusiastic about the craft of architecture. His thoughtful questions and drive to understand why things work make him a valued collaborator across project teams.
Achieving licensure is no small feat, requiring hundreds of hours of experience and a rigorous series of exams. Jack reached this milestone with the same steady determination he brings to his design work, and we couldn’t be prouder.
Please join us in congratulating Jack on this accomplishment. We’re thrilled to see where his career goes from here—and grateful to have him shaping the future of Smith Sinnett’s work.
