MSB was founded by Matthew Shannon-Browne.  Matt is West Virginia born and Mount Pleasant, Washington, D.C., raised.

Matt comes by his construction knowledge through genetics and 29+ years of experience. His father, Charlie Browne, is a general contractor and principal in Browne Brothers, which has built thousands of homes in the region for EYA, Coscan Brookfield Homes, Christopher Companies, and other smaller builders. Matt began working with Browne Brothers in 1995 and went on to become a partner in the company, where he supervised the framing, exterior trim, and window/door installation for hundreds of upscale homes in and around Washington. 

As the production framing business slowed in 2006, Matt left Browne Brothers to begin a remodeling company. He has worked individually and with teams of licensed contractors and designers since that time, starting MSB Design Build LLC in 2008. The MSB team has worked with residential clients, restaurant owners and commercial property owners to provide design and construction experience to build-out and maintain properties in the DC area.

Rebecca Shannon (mom) provided backup support in marketing communications and project administration for MSB before retiring in 2016.

In 2019 Marcel Jean joined the MSB team providing expertise in CAD, estimating, material ordering and office management.

MSB Design Build strives to bring honesty and quality to a business that often suffers from a dearth of both. We know our clients are our best references, so we're only happy when you're happy.
