Brittany Watson grew up teething on the seaweed of Southern California while surrounded by a musician/artist family (minus a finance-minded father.) Her mom’s favorite quote was “a creative mess is better than tidy idleness” and so her childhood was spent creating art, music, and yes, lots of messes. Her dad thought she should study law while Mom thought she was better suited as an artist so she chose a happy median, art history. On her way to becoming a museum curator she was haunted by visions of those creative messes and enrolled in permanent “creative mess status” otherwise known as a master’s in interior design at the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, DC. Now in her final year, she has spent past summers working with professional creative messers including Jonathan Adler and Celerie Kemble in NYC. There she designed products for Tiffany and Co., Schumacher, and Dempsey and Carroll and helped create beautiful interiors for fancy schmancy penthouses. This past summer she found myself earning a sore bum from miles of cycling around the city of Copenhagen while studying textile design and writing for design*sponge. She can currently be found staring in front of a computer screen working on her wiki-thesis, TA'ing a freshman art history course, designing all things Danish, and teaching cello lessons.
