Byron Brenneman began his career with experience in drafting and surveying for large-scale retail and restaurant clients. With an eye-for-design, he loves to research the essential elements that make up the look and feel of a brand and translating them into the built environment. Outside of the office, he enjoys exploring the many unique neighborhoods of Columbus, and finding new places to eat and unwind. He’s also an avid cook and baker, always looking for new recipes to tryout. He likes spending quiet evenings drawing while curled up on the couch with his cat Binx, like in Hocus Pocus

Maria Frissora joins us as a recent graduate of Kent State University and was an intern with a local healthcare firm. Maria is ready and determined to bring her fresh set of design skills to Design Collective and the A&D community. When not in the office, she enjoys updating her closet (which really doesn’t have room for anything else) keeping up with the OSU Buckeyes, or reading a great book. In addition, Maria enjoys spending as much time with her family as she can get, which usually means balancing her time between the two very cultured (and very loud) sides of her Italian/Lebanese family.
