Originally from Los Angeles, Bryan has spent the past two decades in the Arizona desert- it’s safe to say he thinks heat is a dish best served dry. While earning his Master of Architecture at Arizona State University, he developed a thesis that continues to shape both his work and his outlook on life: Building Bonds | The Aesthetics of Empathy. In his practice, architecture becomes more than the creation of structures; it’s a way to express connection, culture, and shared experience through design. Beyond the office, Bryan enjoys traveling and discovering how architecture both influences and reflects the communities he encounters. A lifelong admirer of storytelling and artistry, he also finds deep inspiration in anime, drawn to its blend of emotion, imagination, and meticulous craft. Whether developing a concept, exploring a new city, or getting lost in a beautifully animated scene, Bryan is always chasing inspiration and new ways to connect with the world around him.
