Breanna Booker, Assoc. NOMA
Designer
Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Breanna is a designer with an interest on how occupied spaces built in urban environments affect the wellbeing within the community.

At that young age, Breanna realized she could impact the industry and enrolled at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where she received her bachelor’s and Master of Architecture.
During her time at the ULL, she was a consistent face in the College of the Arts. She became a prominent member of the UL Black Student Union and the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students. Breanna is also a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
Since joining the Fusion team, Breanna continues to expand her experience in various design projects and community outreach. She is currently serving as Fusion’s representative on the Advisory Board for High School of Engineering Professionals at Scotlandville Magnet High School. In her spare time, she can be found reading a good book or drawing for leisure.
Jean Paul Duhon, AIA
Architect
After graduating from Louisiana State University in 2002 with a degree in Architecture, Jean Paul spent thirteen years working for some of the most elite firms in Chicago where he developed a love of historic building restoration and sustainable design. He spent almost a decade involved with the Chicago branch of the Building Enclosure Council (www.bec-chicago.org) which ended when he relocated to his home state for a brief two years before landing in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
There he worked as the Design Architect for the Town of Barnstable where he cut his teeth on public service and the municipal building process. Having recently returned to Baton Rouge he is thrilled to be employed with Fusion Architects and to be back in his hometown. He is a licensed architect in three states.
