Nicole Buhles is a Practice Technology Leader at HED, where she co-builds and implements firm-wide digital design-delivery strategies. She specializes in BIM management, coaching project teams to maximize technology and seize innovation opportunities.

A change agent for over a decade, Nicole knows what drives “digital-first” in AECO firms—and it’s not troubleshooting Revit. Previously as a BIM technology consultant, she managed a diverse portfolio of architecture firms to construct and accelerate BIM implementation strategies.

She is also an active member of AIA LA’s Technology in Architectural Practice Committee; holds a Certificate of Management-Building Information Modeling (CM-BIM) from the American General Contractors Association; and a master’s degree in Architecture from Hampton University.
