In her childhood, her family relocated to Gardner, Massachusetts and she attended school at Walnut Hill School in Natick, Massachusetts. She continued her education at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1970 and in 1973, earned her master's degree in architecture from the University of Washington.[1]
In 1975, Brown moved to Alaska and began her career working for Edwin Butler Crittenden at CCC Architects in Anchorage. She began working with Kumin Associates in 1987[2] and in 1988, her work was recognized in the American Institute of Architects (AIA) traveling exhibition to acknowledge the contributions of women architects. The exhibition, entitled Many More: Women in Architecture, 1978-1988, featured 77 projects accepted from women architects by the committee.[3] She was honored with a Loeb fellowship from the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1989.[1]
