Judd Brown,
A.S.I.D.
President
Judd founded JBD in 1983 after working
as the head of design for Jan Companies'
62-unit restaurant chain. Brown is a graduate
of the architecture department at Arizona
State University, and has completed additional
studies at the Boston Architectural Center
and Harvard University. He is a member
of the American Society of Interior Designers
(A.S.I.D.), and is a recipient of their
annual design award from the New England
chapter and recently received international
recognition winning the 2002 Trends/ASID
design award. Interior Design Magazine
has also recognized Brown’s work
in 11 of the past 13 years as Design Giant.
Brown's award winning and revenue generating
designs come as the result of a solid
academic foundation and years of design
work, combined with significant experience
in the field of restaurant management
where he developed a true appreciation
for the ergonomic and economic implications
of restaurant design.
