Brandon Brooks (He/Him) was born and raised in the Queen City of Charlotte, North Carolina. He received his Bachelors of Fine Art (BFA) in Architectural Studies from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland in 2018. While in Baltimore he worked at the world-class firm Ziger/ Snead Architects, and after graduation, Brooks moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, the same city where he studied abroad during his Junior year at MICA. While living in Denmark he worked for the Architecture School at the Danish Institute of Scandinavia (DIS). That year in Copenhagen also allowed Brandon to explore 12+ countries, significantly expanding and deepening his investment for the arts, architecture, and conservation.

After leaving Copenhagen he attended the Yale School of Architecture, where he found a home in New Haven, Connecticut. During his time at Yale Brandon took a one-year leave from graduate school to work at the studio of Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects in New York City where he learned "to only leave good marks upon the earth, good work comes from many voices, and to make buildings that will last and be loved." After working at TWBTA Brandon returned to Yale School of Architecture to complete his Masters in Architecture 23”.
