What if you could spend less time on tedious tasks and more time on the creative work that truly drives your projects?After over a decade as an architect, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be when our tools can’t keep up with our vision. That’s why I shifted my focus—I’m here to help building professionals cut down on repetitive tasks, reclaim their time, and focus on what matters most for their projects and clients.I partner with project teams to find the best tools for their needs, test new workflows, and bring everyone up to speed with hands-on training and ongoing support. I lead workshops on Power BI and Proving Ground’s suite of apps—Tracer, Conveyor, Semantic, and LunchBox—to make our work more streamlined and insightful.I've been lucky enough to design a variety of buildings—from stadiums and office towers to homes, hospitals, airports, and entertainment venues around the world. This experience helps me ensure that Proving Ground’s products align with what our users really need.I hold an M.S. in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University, a Master of Architecture with Distinction from the University of Kansas, and an MBA. I’m a licensed architect in Missouri, with additional credentials as an NCARB Certificate holder, Fitwel Ambassador, and LEED Green Associate. When I’m not working, you’ll find me volunteering as a Master Gardener in St. Louis, helping my neighbors grow fresh produce and connect with nature.Let’s connect! Whether you’re into data-driven design or just want to chat about making a positive impact, feel free to reach out here on LinkedIn or at nicole.mater@gmail.com. And for support with Proving Ground apps, our team is ready to help at apps@provingground.io.
