Brendan was born and raised in Côte d’Ivoire and moved to Washington, D.C. when his father became chief curator of the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art.
While studying sculpture at Oberlin, he led the design and construction of a timber frame barn on his family’s property in coastal Maine where together with his siblings he founded Islesford Boatworks, a nonprofit summer boat building program. He spent several years lobster fishing before completing his master's degree in Industrial Design at RISD.
Brendan then decamped for Los Angeles, drawn by the thriving network of fabricators in Southern California. He established the Studio to create products that have meaning beyond aesthetics and trend. Since its founding in 2010, the Studio has grown from Brendan working alone in a spare bedroom to 20 talented humans.
