Born in New York and raised in Ohio, architect-designer Jerome Byron earned his Bachelor of Architecture degree from Pratt Institute in 2010 and his Master of Architecture degree from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design in 2014. Over the past 10 years he has spent time working in Los Angeles, New York, and Berlin, most notably at the offices of Francis Kéré and Barkow Leibinger.

Byron opened his own studio in 2017 to pursue ground-up architectural works as well as interior design, art direction, and materials-focused furniture design. He experiments with industrial materials like metal, concrete, and glass fibre, transforming them through colour, form, proportion, and movement with the intention of disrupting their traditional Brutalist, oppressive connotations.
