What do you do when your husband accidentally buys you an embroidery machine?...

...you learn to sew.

It started with a birthday gift. One pillow turned to two, ...and three, and four. And then a background in interior design helped Kelly create a whole line of pillows and home décor.

modern handmade goods

That is what desmond brown design is all about. Colorful, durable, fun and nostalgic,
THESE PILLOWS WANT TO MAKE YOU SMILE
Think of them as a little less “I need something for my couch” and more “this makes me happy!”
……………...………………………………………………………...……...…………...………………...…...…….
PHILOSOPHY
A touch of whimsy, a bit of contemporary mixed into the traditional. A fun quote on a serious sofa. It’s what keeps things interesting, and definitely personal.

HANDMADE
Designed, Cut, Stitched, Screen Printed, Pressed, Stuffed, and Labeled…
all one at a time... all by hand.

VISION
I love mixing things that don’t seem to belong together. I’m a little bit city, my husband is a little bit country. I love that my grandmother's footed crystal bowl sits beautifully atop my modern sideboard. I’ve been a designer for almost 20 years, and that constant study in contrasts undeniably translates into my finished products.
