University of Texas at Austin – School of Architecture

Brandon serves as the Studio Director for GFF’s Fort Worth office, bringing over two decades of experience in the design and delivery of diverse, complex project types including multifamily, commercial, hospitality, civic, and senior housing. With a career defined by operational leadership and a deep commitment to the civic fabric of his projects, he specializes in bridging the gap between design intent and the realities of construction.

He is deeply invested in the Fort Worth community, contributing his time to the Downtown Design Review Board, the Public Art Commission, Cultural District Alliance, and Community Design Fort Worth.

Brandon aspires to create architecture that belongs to its site and strengthens the community, believing that by listening to all project stakeholders, from users to craftsmen, he can discover solutions that uplift, heal, and inspire. Outside of the studio, he is an avid traveler with his wife and two boys, photographer, and he was recently selected to create a public art installation for Fort Worth’s Westhaven Park.

Brandon earned his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture.
