Abby Enscoe Email & Phone Number

An enthusiasm for math, architecture, and construction led Abby to structural engineering. Through architecture classes at MIT while earning a BS in physics at Harvard, she developed a strong interest in mathematics and mechanics, as well as a deep respect for the impact that design can have on one’s experience of the world. After graduation, Abby built houses with East Bay Habitat for Humanity, moving on to work as a carpenter for a small design-build construction company. In the process, she gained an understanding of how buildings come together as well as an appreciation for systems that help make construction streamlined and efficient.After receiving an MEng in Structural Engineering at UC Berkeley, Abby spent several weeks exploring Japanese architecture through the SOM Foundation’s Structural Engineering Travel Fellowship.Abby’s diverse experiences during her education inform her practice as a project director. During her time at Tipping, Abby has worked on a wide variety of retrofit and new construction projects across the housing, commercial, and educational sectors. She embraces her role as a collaborator with design teams, owners, and contractors, seeking analysis and design approaches that best address larger project priorities. A true problem-solver at heart, Abby enjoys working with complex existing conditions, responding to construction constraints, and navigating the higher education review process. She has broad experience with seismic peer review, both as a designer and as a reviewer.
