Ensonn Morris, Jr.

Ensonn Morris, Jr. is a Design Team Member in Studio Gang’s Chicago office. Drawn to architecture at an early age, he graduated from the Charter High School for Architecture + Design in Philadelphia and went on to earn his bachelor of Architecture degree from Syracuse University with a concentration in Anthropology. The Studio’s approach to designing projects with a spirit of place and commitment to active community engagement pulled him to Chicago. Particularly interested in civic, cultural, and tower projects, he is currently part of the team that is redesigning Tom Lee Park in Memphis, Tennessee.

A desire to explore the world and understand the development of cities and their people has led Ensonn to travel as much as he can. The balancing rock formations of Brimham Rocks in northern England are his favorite natural landscape, though he thinks the Grand Canyon might win out once he has a chance to visit. In addition to architecture he’s also passionate about working on collaborative projects with curators, filmmakers, musicians, and other artists across the design professions. Always up to try new foods and meet new people, the accomplishments he’s most proud of thus far include being a founding member of the Syracuse University student chapter of NOMA, an Our Time Has Come Scholar, a Ronald E. McNair Scholar, and a brother of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
