Terumi Woods

Senior Specifications Writer

Terumi Woods is a licensed architect and Senior Specifications Writer with a professional footprint on both coasts, working from the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City. She brings a thoughtful, analytical approach to documentation, driven by a fascination with how systems—both built and natural—work together to shape the environment.

A member of the AIA, CSI, and SCIP, Terumi holds certifications in CDT, CCCA, CCS, and is a LEED AP BD+C. Her recent licensure in California marks a major milestone in a career defined by intellectual curiosity, technical precision, and a passion for architecture that goes beyond the page.

"Going to places around the country brings to the front the reality of the people who live there. I like going to places and experiencing them as they are lived by the people who call it home."

Terumi’s interests span urban, human, and physical geography; weather systems; and the evolving dynamics of cities and landscapes. She’s equally at home dissecting a specification section as she is hiking a new trail, catching a baseball game, or getting lost in a book. Her interdisciplinary perspective and broad interests allow her to connect ideas across contexts—bringing depth, clarity, and relevance to her work in the built environment.
