Originally from Virginia, Brian studied architecture at Virginia Tech before moving to Colorado in 2007 and founded two seven ink in early 2015 as the initial start of 2757 design+build co.  

In design, a thoughtful approach for each individual project follows through from initial conceptual sketches to utilizing his extensive construction knowledge in the field. Starting from a perspective of constructibility and sustainable strategies from the outset of any project, Brian believes good design should be attainable and experienced by everyone. Charles Eames said it best...

"the best, for the most, for the least."
